Note: This statement combines anatomy and/or ontology terms with phenotype quality terms to create a complete phenotype (EQ) statement. For detailed information on individual terms, click the hyperlinked term name.
Name: central nervous system
Synonyms: cns
Definition: The brain and spinal cord.
Ontology: Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0000012]
Name: central nervous system myelination
Synonyms: myelination in central nervous system
Definition: The process in which neuronal axons and dendrites become coated with a segmented lipid-rich sheath (myelin) to enable faster and more energetically efficient conduction of electrical impulses. The sheath is formed by the cell membranes of oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system. Adjacent myelin segments are separated by a non-myelinated stretch of axon called a node of Ranvier.

Name: decreased process quality
Synonyms:
Definition: A quality of a process that has a value that is decreased compared to normal or average.
