Encyclopedia entry (1928–1936)
NEUROGENIC, of nervous origin. This is the accepted characterization for various pathological processes when the mechanism of their development is based on nervous irritation or, conversely, the loss of nervous influence, for example in degeneration, nerve section, etc. There exist neurogenic theories of inflammation, tumors, differentiation, atrophic, and dystrophic processes. However, the intimate mechanisms of the phenomena occurring in the nerves themselves, vessels, innervated tissues, and their juices are often still unclear. For more detail, see Pathogenesis. NEUROGLIOMA (neuroglioma), an uncommon name for tumors consisting of neuroglia; the term glioma (see) is much more common for these neoplasms.
