| neurohumoral transmission | A process by which a presynaptic cell, upon excitation, releases a specific chemical agent (a neurotransmitter) to cross a synapse to stimulate or inhibit the postsynaptic cell. Synonym: neurotransmission. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neurohypophysial | Relating to the neurohypophysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neurohypophysial hormones | Hormones produced in the hypothalamus; e.g., oxytocin, vasopressin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neurohypophysis | 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) |
| neuroid | Resembling a nerve; nervelike. Origin: neuro-+ G. Eidos, resemblance (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuroimmunomodulation | Influences of the nervous system (brain, spinal cord, autonomic and peripheral nervous systems) upon the immune system, principally by biochemical (i.e., neurotransmitters, receptors, etc.) and by direct neural routes. This is a two-way information transfer system. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neurokeratin | <physiology> A substance, resembling keratin, present in nerve tissue, as in the sheath of the axis cylinder of medullated nerve fibres. Like keratin it resists the action of most chemical agents, and by decomposition with sulphuric acid yields leucin and tyrosin. Origin: Neuro- + keratin. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| neurokinin a | <chemical> A mammalian decapeptide tachykinin found in the central nervous system. It is similar in structure and action to substance p and neurokinin k. The compound has bronchoconstrictor, smooth muscle constrictor, and hypotensive effects and also activates the micturition reflex. Chemical name: Kassinin, 1-de-L-aspartic acid-2-de-L-valine-3-L-histidine-5-L-threonine-7-L-serine- (12 Dec 1998) |
| neurokinin k | <chemical> A mammalian decapeptide tachykinin found in the central nervous system. It is similar in structure and action to substance p and substance k (neurokinin a). The compound has bronchoconstrictor, smooth muscle constrictor, and hypotensive effects and also activates the micturition reflex. Chemical name: Kassinin, 2-L-methionine-3-L-histidine-4-de-L-lysine-5-de-L-serine-7-L-phenylalanine- (12 Dec 1998) |
| neurolemma | Synonym: neurilemma. Origin: neuro-+ G. Lemma, husk (05 Mar 2000) |
| neurolemma cells | Neuroglial cells of the peripheral nervous system which form the insulating myelin sheaths of peripheral axons. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neuroleptanalgesia | <pharmacology> A state of quiescence, altered awareness and analgesia produced by the administration of a combination of a narcotic analgesic and a neuroleptic agent. Origin: Gr. Lepsis = a taking hold (18 Nov 1997) |
| neuroleptanesthesia | A technique of general anaesthesia based upon intravenous administration of neuroleptic drugs, together with inhalation of a weak anaesthetic with or without neuromuscular relaxants. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuroleptic | <pharmacology> A term coined to refer to the effects on cognition and behaviour of antipsychotic drugs, which produce a state of apathy, lack of initiative and limited range of emotion and in psychotic patients cause a reduction in confusion and agitation and normalisation of psychomotor activity. Origin: Gr. Lepsis = a taking hold (18 Nov 1997) |
