A to Z#

A

• Astrocyte In the alpha Star-shaped support cells; in Arborwake they are anchored residents whose help is spatial and finite.

B

• Border-associated macrophage Approved Immune cells that live at the brain's borders rather than inside the tissue; Bram is one, and they are not microglia or invaders.

M

• Microglia In the alpha The brain's resident immune cells; in Arborwake, the Ranger and every recruitable companion are microglia.
• Monocyte In the alpha Blood immune cells that, in some rodent stress models, are recruited to the brain's vessel walls; in Arborwake they appear only in model-labelled Vessel Margins rooms.

N

• Neuron In the alpha Nerve cells that carry signals; in Arborwake they are rooted gold residents whose pulses the player learns to read and must never lose.

O

• Oligodendrocyte In the alpha The cells that wrap axons in myelin; in Arborwake they are anchored and only extend, and only they can repair the Quiet District road.
• Oligodendrocyte precursor cell In the alpha The young cells that can mature into new oligodendrocytes; in the Quiet Tracts they mature in place and wrap by extension.

P

• Pericyte Approved Cells wrapped around small blood vessels; in Arborwake, Vessa is a pericyte who reads the vessel border.
