A brain tumor is a growth in a person's brain from rapidly multiplying cells that can affect the way your brain or nervous system works.
The medical term for a tumor that originates from the support tissue of the central nervous system is "glioma." Gliomas are a type of brain tumor that develop from glial cells, which are cells that support the function of neurons in the brain. These tumors can be malignant or benign.
Some disorders of the nervous system include epilepsy, meningitis, polio, brain tumor and Parkinson's disease. Others are Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis and Huntington's chorea.
