| neuromalacia | Pathologic softening of nervous tissue. Origin: neuro-+ G. Malakia, softness (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| neuromast | See: lateral line sense organ. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuromast organ | A structure in fish consisting of a long groove or canal extending along each side of the trunk and tail and branching in the head region; the groove or tube is lined with neuroepithelial cells, some of which are in groups known as neuromasts; its function appears to be the detection of vibrations of low frequency. Synonym: neuromast organ. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuromatosis | The presence of multiple neuromas, as in neurofibromatosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuromelanin | A modified form of melanin pigment normally found in certain neurons of the nervous system, especially in the substantia nigra and locus ceruleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuromeningeal | Related to involvement of nervous tissue and the meninges. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuromere | Alternate swellings and constrictions seen along the neuraxis at early stages of neural tube development, thought to be evidence of intrinsic segmentation in the CNS. Neuromeres or segments in the hindbrain region are called rhombomeres and have been shown to be lineage restriction units, each constructing a defined piece of hindbrain. (18 Nov 1997) |
| neuromimesis | An obsolete term for hysterical or neurotic simulation of disease. Origin: neuro-+ G. Mimesis, imitation (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuromimetic | Relating to the action of a drug that mimics the response of an effector organ to nerve impulses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuromodulation | Alteration in the effectiveness of voltage gated or ligand gated ion channels by changing the characteristics of current flow through the channels. The mechanism is thought to involve second messenger systems. (18 Nov 1997) |
| neuromodulin | <protein> Protein associated with actively growing axons, especially in the growth cone. Binds calmodulin, is phosphorylated by protein kinase C. (18 Nov 1997) |
| neuromuscular | <anatomy> Pertaining to muscles and nerves. (18 Nov 1997) |
| neuromuscular agents | Drugs used for their actions on skeletal muscle. Included are agents that act directly on skeletal muscle, those that alter neuromuscular transmission (neuromuscular blocking agents), and drugs that act centrally as skeletal muscle relaxants (muscle relaxants, central). Drugs used in the treatment of movement disorders are anti-dyskinesia agents. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neuromuscular blockade | The intentional interruption of transmission at the neuromuscular junction by external agents, usually neuromuscular blocking agents. It is distinguished from nerve block in which nerve conduction is interrupted rather than neuromuscular transmission. Neuromuscular blockade is commonly used to produce muscle relaxation as an adjunct to anaesthesia during surgery and other medical procedures. It is also often used as an experimental manipulation in basic research. It is not strictly speaking anaesthesia but is grouped here with anaesthetic techniques. The failure of neuromuscular transmission as a result of pathological processes is not included here. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neuromuscular blocking agent | A group of drugs that prevent motor nerve endings from exciting skeletal muscle. They act either by competing for the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, (like D-tubocurarine, mivacurium and pancuronium), or by first stimulating the postjunctional muscle membrane and subsequently desensitizing the muscle endplates to the acetylcholine (like succinylcholine or decamethonium); used in surgery to produce paralysis and facilitate manipulation of muscles.
