|---|---|
| NTD | neural tube defect; nitroblue tetrazolium dye; noise tone difference; 5'-nucleotidase |
| SDCN | N-syndectan, neural syndectan |
| SEGNE | secretory granules of neural and endocrine [cells] |
| AA | 1) Aortic Arch(= Arcus Aortae)(= AA); 대동맥궁 2) Aplastic Anemia - Anemia |
| neural fold | A crease that forms in the neural plate during neurulation. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| neural folds | The elevated margins of the neural groove. Synonym: medullary folds. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neural ganglion | 1. A knot or knotlike mass. 2. <anatomy> A general term for a group of nerve cell bodies located outside the central nervous system, occasionally applied to certain nuclear groups within the brain or spinal cord, for example basal ganglia. 3. <oncology, tumour> A benign cystic tumour occurring on a aponeurosis or tendon, as in the wrist or dorsum of the foot, it consists of a thin fibrous capsule enclosing a clear mucinous fluid. (18 Nov 1997) |
| neural groove | The gutter-like groove formed in the midline of the embryo's dorsal surface by the progressive elevation of the lateral margins of the neural plate; the ultimate dorsal fusion of the margins results in the formation of the neural tube. Synonym: medullary groove. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neural induction | In vertebrates the formation of the nervous system from the ectoderm of the early embryo as a result of a signal from the underlying mesoderm of the archenteron roof, also called primary neural induction. The mechanism of neural induction is not yet clear. (18 Nov 1997) |
| neural layer of optic retina | See: retina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neural layer of retina | The internal layer of the retina containing the neural elements, as distinguished from the outer leaf of the retina, or pigmented layer. Synonym: pars optica retinae, neural layer of retina, optic part of retina, stratum cerebrale retinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neural networks | A computer architecture, implementable in either hardware or software, modeled after biological neural networks. Like the biological system in which the processing capability is a result of the interconnection strengths between arrays of nonlinear processing nodes, computerised neural networks, often called perceptrons or multilayer connectionist models, consist of neuron-like units. A homogeneous group of units makes up a layer. These networks are good at pattern recognition. They are adaptive, performing tasks by example, and thus are better for decision-making than are linear learning machines or cluster analysis. They do not require explicit programming. (04 Jul 1999) |
| neural part of hypophysis | It is composed of the infundibulum and the nervous lobe of hypophysis. See: hypophysis. Synonym: lobus posterior hypophyseos, neural part of hypophysis, pars nervosa hypophyseos, posterior lobe of hypophysis. Origin: neuro-+ hypophysis (05 Mar 2000) |
| neural pathway | <anatomy> Neural tracts connecting one part of the nervous system with another. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neural plate | <embryology> A region of embryonic ectodermal cells, called neuroectoderm, that lie directly above the notochord. During neurulation, they change shape, so as to produce an infolding of the neural plate (the neural fold) that then seals to form the neural tube. (04 Jul 1999) |
| neural retina | <embryology> Layer of nerve cells in the retina, embryologically part of the brain. The incoming light passes through nerve fibres and intermediary nerve cells of the neural retina, before encountering the light sensitive rods and cones at the interface between neural retina and the pigmented retinal epithelium. (04 Jul 1999) |
| neural segment | 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) |
| neural spine | The middle point of the neural arch of the typical vertebra, represented by the spinous process. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neural tube | <embryology> The progenitor of the central nervous system. See: neural plate, neurulation. (18 Nov 1997) |
