| hippocampus major | <anatomy> Area of mammallian brain and an important preparation for the study of synaptic plasticity. The hippocampus has been known since the 1950s to be important for long term memory storage in humans and other mammals, it is essential for initial storing of long-term memory for a period of days to weeks before the memory trace is consolidated elsewhere. Also the site of long-term synaptic plasticity: see long-term potentiation, which is exhibited by defined synaptic pathways in the hippocampus. (18 Nov 1997) |
| psoas major | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, bodies of vertebrae and intervertebral disks from the twelfth thoracic to the fifth lumbar, and transverse processes of the lumbar vertebrae; insertion, forms a common insertion with iliacus muscle into lesser trochanter of femur; action, flexes hip joint; nerve supply, lumbar plexus (ventral rami of first, second and usually third lumbar spinal nerves). Synonym: musculus psoas major, greater psoas muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |

| nervus petrosus major | <anatomy, nerve> The parasympathetic root of the pterygopalatine ganglion; a branch from the genu of the facial nerve exiting via the hiatus of the facial canal and running in a groove on the anterior surface of the petrous part of the temporal bone beside the foramen lacerum to join the deep petrosal nerve, thus forming the nerve of the pterygoid canal, which passes through the pterygoid canal to reach the pterygopalatine ganglion. Synonym: nervus petrosus major, greater petrosal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus splanchnicus major | <anatomy, nerve> Uppermost of the abdominopelvic splanchnic which arises from the fifth or sixth to the ninth or tenth thoracic sympathetic ganglia in the thorax and passes downward along the bodies of the thoracic vertebrae, penetrating the diaphragm to join the coeliac plexus; conveys presynaptic sympathetic fibres to the coeliac ganglia, and visceral afferent fibres from the coeliac plexus. Synonym: nervus splanchnicus major. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus palatinus major | A groove on both the body of the maxilla and the perpendicular plate of the palatine bone; when the bones are articulated the grooves form the greater palatine canal. Synonym: sulcus palatinus major, pterygopalatine groove, sulcus for greater palatine nerve, sulcus pterygopalatinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
