| form | 1. <zoology> An infrasubspecific category which has no status in the classification code. 2. <suffix> In the form, shape of, mold; equivalent to -oid. See: morpho-. Origin: L. -formis, L. Forma (20 Jun 2000) |
| form perception | The sensory discrimination of a pattern shape or outline. (12 Dec 1998) |
| L form | L-forms are bacterial spheroplasts or protoplasts originating from normal bacteria following partial (spheroplasts) or complete (protoplasts) removal of the cell wall. The formation of L-forms can be either spontaneous, occuring during certain phase of growth, or artificial due to suppression of the rigid cell wall by stimuli such as enzymes, heat-shock, or special L form induction medium etc. Bacterial genera from which L-forms have been derived include: Agrobacterium, Bacillus, Bacterodes, Bartonella, Bordetella, Brucella, Clostridium, Corynebacterium, Erysipelothrix, Escherichia, Flavobacterium, Haemophilus, Listeria, Neisseria, Proteus, Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Sarcina, Serratia, Shigella, Staphylococcus, Streptobacillus, Streptococcus, and Vibrio.

| acute brain syndrome | <syndrome> A condition of severe confusion or rapid change in brain function. This often occurs as the result of a mental illness or physical illness. Symptoms include lethargy, agitation, confusion, disorientation and delirium. (27 Sep 1997) |
| acute organic brain syndrome | <syndrome> A constellation of behavioural or psychological signs and symptoms including problems with attention, concentration, memory, confusion, anxiety, and depression caused by transient or permanent dysfunction of the brain. Synonym: acute organic brain syndrome, OBS, organic mental syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior part of anterior commissure of brain | The anterior part of the anterior or rostral commissure of the brain. Synonym: pars anterior commissurae rostralis, pars anterior commissurae anterioris cerebri. (05 Mar 2000) |
