| NSM | neurosecretory material; neurosecretory motor neuron; nonantigenic specific mediator; nutrient sporu... |
| NSP | neuron specific protein; nonstructural protein |
| PTN | pain transmission neuron; pleiotrophin; posterior tibial nerve |
| S-NSE | serum neuron-specific enolase |
| sensory cell | A cell in the peripheral nervous system that receives afferent (sensory) input; sensory receptor cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| sensory cortex | Formerly denoting specifically the somatic sensory cortex, but now used to refer collectively to the somatic sensory, auditory, visual, and olfactory regions of the cerebral cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensory crossway | The postlenticular portion of the posterior limb of the internal capsule of the brain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensory decussation of medulla oblongata | The intercrossing of the fibres of the left and right medial lemniscus ascending from the gracile and cuneate nuclei, immediately rostral to the level of the decussation of the pyramidal tracts in the medulla oblongata. Synonym: decussatio lemniscorum, decussatio sensoria, decussation of the fillet, sensory decussation of medulla oblongata. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensory deprivation | The absence or restriction of the usual external sensory stimuli to which the individual responds. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sensory epilepsy | Focal epilepsy initiated by a somatosensory phenomenon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensory ganglion | A cluster of primary sensory neurons forming a usually visible swelling in the course of a peripheral nerve or its dorsal root; such nerve cells establish the sole afferent neural connection between the sensory periphery (skin, mucous membranes of the oral and nasal cavities, muscle tissue, tendons, joint capsules, special sense organs, blood vessel walls, tissues of the internal organs) and the central nervous system; they are the cells of origin of all sensory fibres of the peripheral nervous system. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensory image | An image based on one or more types of sensation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensory nerve | <anatomy, nerve> An afferent nerve conveying impulses that are processed by the central nervous system so as to become part of the organism's perception of self and its environment. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensory nuclei | A group of cell bodies that receive afferent (sensory) input from the periphery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensory paralysis | Loss of sensation; anaesthesia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensory precipitated epilepsy | Seizures which are induced by peripheral stimulation; e.g., audiogenic, laryngeal, photogenic, or other stimulation. Synonym: sensory precipitated epilepsy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensory receptors | Peripheral endings of afferent neurons. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensory root of ciliary ganglion | Sensory fibres passing from the eyeball through the ciliary ganglion to their cell bodies in the trigeminal ganglion via the nasociliary nerve. Synonym: radix sensoria ganglii ciliaris, ramus communicans nervi nasociliaris cum ganglio ciliari, radix nasociliaris, long root of ciliary ganglion, nasociliary root, radix longa ganglii ciliaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensory root of pterygopalatine ganglion | <anatomy, nerve> The ganglionic branches, two short sensory branches of the maxillary nerve in the pterygopalatine fossa, the fibres of which pass through the pterygopalatine ganglion without synapse. Synonym: radix sensoria ganglii pterygopalatini, rami ganglionici nervi maxillaris, rami ganglionares, nervi pterygopalatini, nervi sphenopalatini, pterygopalatine nerves, sensory root of pterygopalatine ganglion.
