| neuronal hyperplasia | Increased numbers of ganglion cells with myenteric plexus hyperplasia and increased acetylcholinesterase activity in nerves of the mucosa and submucosa. Clinically, neuronal hyperplasia mimics Hirschprung's disease. Similar findings are seen in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome, type IIB, and in neurofibromatosis. Synonym: hyperganglionosis, neuronal intestinal dysplasia. (05 Mar 2000) |

| neuronal plasticity | Ability of nerve cells to change their properties for example by sprouting new processes, making new synapses or altering the strength of existing synapses. See: long-term potentiation. (18 Nov 1997) |
| neuronal polarity | Distribution of specific functions to discrete cellular domains: for example axons and dendrites that have different molecular composition, morphology and ultrastructure and perform different functions. (18 Nov 1997) |
| infantile neuronal degeneration | <neurology, paediatrics> Degenerative disorder of infants with widespread neuronal loss in thalamus, cerebellum, pons, and spinal cord, resembling infantile muscular atrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alpha blocking | The attenuation of the occipital alpha rhythm (8-14 Hz brain waves as seen on an electroencephalogram), produced by opening the eyes or by intense mental concentration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antibodies, blocking | Antibodies that inhibit the reaction between antigen and other antibodies or sensitised T-lymphocytes (e.g., antibodies of the IgG class that compete with IgE antibodies for antigen, thereby blocking an allergic response). Blocking antibodies that bind tumours and prevent destruction of tumour cells by cytotoxic T-lymphocytes have also been called enhancing antibodies. (12 Dec 1998) |
| blocking | 1. Obstructing; arresting of passage, conduction, or transmission. 2. In psychoanalysis, a sudden break in free association occurring when a painful subject or repressed complex is touched. 3. Sudden cessation of thoughts and speech, which may indicate the presence of a severe thought disorder or a psychosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blocking activity | The repression or elimination of electrical activity in the brain by the arrival of a sensory stimulus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blocking antibody | An antibody used in a reaction to prevent some other reaction taking place, for example one antibody competing with another for a cell surface receptor. See: desensitisation. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Rh blocking test | A test for nonagglutinating Rh antibodies: an Rh agglutination test is first carried out; if the test for Rh agglutinins is negative, then 1 drop of anti-Rho agglutinating serum of moderate titre is mixed with the patient's serum containing Rh-positive test cells; if after incubating for from 1 to 2 hr at 37캜 no agglutination occurs, Rho-blocking antibodies are assumed to be present in the patient's serum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spermatogenesis-blocking agents | Chemical substances which inhibit the process of spermatozoa formation at either the first stage, in which spermatogonia develop into spermatocytes and then into spermatids, or the second stage, in which spermatids transform into spermatozoa. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neuromuscular blocking agents | Drugs that interrupt transmission of nerve impulses at the skeletal neuromuscular junction. They can be of two types, competitive, stabilizing blockers (neuromuscular nondepolarising agents) or noncompetitive, depolarising agents (neuromuscular depolarising agents). Both prevent acetylcholine from triggering the muscle contraction and they are used as anaesthesia adjuvants, as relaxants during electroshock, in convulsive states, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adrenergic | <neurology, physiology> Refers to neurons that use catecholamines as neurotransmitters at a synapse when a nerve impulse passes i.e. The sympathetic fibres. Also refers to neurones that are activated by, characteristic of or secreting adrenaline (adrenaline) or substances with similar activity. (15 Jan 1998) |
| adrenergic agents | Drugs that act on adrenergic receptors or affect the life cycle of adrenergic transmitters. Included here are adrenergic agonists and antagonists and agents that affect the synthesis, storage, uptake, metabolism, or release of adrenergic transmitters. (12 Dec 1998) |
