Summary
Extraventricular neurocytomas are rare brain tumors. This case highlights successful surgical removal of a sellar/suprasellar extraventricular neurocytoma, emphasizing careful preoperative planning for optimal outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Neuro-oncology
- Neurosurgery
- Endocrinology
Background:
- Extraventricular neurocytomas (CN) are rare, particularly in sellar/suprasellar regions, with only 12 prior cases reported.
- Central neurocytomas (CN) typically affect young adults aged 20-40.
- Sellar and suprasellar locations present unique diagnostic and surgical challenges.

02:10Social Scripts

People tend to know what behavior is expected of them in specific, familiar settings. A script is a person’s knowledge about the sequence of events expected in a specific setting (Schank & Abelson, 1977). Essentially, scripts are a particular kind of schema, one containing default values for the features within an event. In the restaurant example, the script's features include the props (e.g., tables, menu, food, and money), the roles to be played (e.g., customer and waiter),...

02:39Predator-Prey Interactions

Predators consume prey for energy. Predators that acquire prey and prey that avoid predation both increase their chances of survival and reproduction (i.e., fitness). Routine predator-prey interactions elicit mutual adaptations that improve predator offenses, such as claws, teeth, and speed, as well as prey defenses, including crypsis, aposematism, and mimicry. Thus, predator-prey interactions resemble an evolutionary arms race.
