| neurokeratin | <physiology> A substance, resembling keratin, present in nerve tissue, as in the sheath of the axis cylinder of medullated nerve fibres. Like keratin it resists the action of most chemical agents, and by decomposition with sulphuric acid yields leucin and tyrosin. Origin: Neuro- + keratin. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| neurokinin a | <chemical> A mammalian decapeptide tachykinin found in the central nervous system. It is similar in structure and action to substance p and neurokinin k. The compound has bronchoconstrictor, smooth muscle constrictor, and hypotensive effects and also activates the micturition reflex. Chemical name: Kassinin, 1-de-L-aspartic acid-2-de-L-valine-3-L-histidine-5-L-threonine-7-L-serine- (12 Dec 1998) |
| neurokinin k | <chemical> A mammalian decapeptide tachykinin found in the central nervous system. It is similar in structure and action to substance p and substance k (neurokinin a). The compound has bronchoconstrictor, smooth muscle constrictor, and hypotensive effects and also activates the micturition reflex. Chemical name: Kassinin, 2-L-methionine-3-L-histidine-4-de-L-lysine-5-de-L-serine-7-L-phenylalanine- (12 Dec 1998) |
| neurolemma | Synonym: neurilemma. Origin: neuro-+ G. Lemma, husk (05 Mar 2000) |
| neurolemma cells | Neuroglial cells of the peripheral nervous system which form the insulating myelin sheaths of peripheral axons. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neuroleptanalgesia | <pharmacology> A state of quiescence, altered awareness and analgesia produced by the administration of a combination of a narcotic analgesic and a neuroleptic agent. Origin: Gr. Lepsis = a taking hold (18 Nov 1997) |
| neuroleptanesthesia | A technique of general anaesthesia based upon intravenous administration of neuroleptic drugs, together with inhalation of a weak anaesthetic with or without neuromuscular relaxants. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuroleptic | <pharmacology> A term coined to refer to the effects on cognition and behaviour of antipsychotic drugs, which produce a state of apathy, lack of initiative and limited range of emotion and in psychotic patients cause a reduction in confusion and agitation and normalisation of psychomotor activity. Origin: Gr. Lepsis = a taking hold (18 Nov 1997) |
| neuroleptic agent | Any of a family of drugs producing sedation and tranquilization (e.g., chlorpromazine, haloperidol). See: antipsychotic agent. Synonym: neuroleptic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuroleptic drugs | Literally nerve seising: used of chlorpromazine like drugs. Antagonise the effects of dopamine. Origin: Gr. Lepsis = a taking hold (18 Nov 1997) |
| neuroleptic malignant syndrome | <syndrome> This describes the combination of catatonic rigidity, stupor, unstable blood pressure, fever, profuse sweating, sweating and incontinence as a reaction to antipsychotic agents (phenothiazines) in therapeutic doses. Origin: Gr. Lepsis = a taking hold (27 Sep 1997) |
| neuroleukin | Neuronal growth factor and lymphokine product of lectin-stimulated T-cells which induces immunoglobulin secretion. Its amino acid sequence is partially homologous to the HIV envelope glycoprotein gp120, which may explain, in part, the pathogenesis of aids dementia complex. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neurolinguistics | The branch of medical science concerned with the neuroanatomical basis of speech and its disorders. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neurologic | <anatomy> Pertaining to neurology or to the nervous system. (18 Nov 1997) |
| neurologic manifestations | Neurologic disorders attendant upon non-neurologic disease or injury. (12 Dec 1998) |
