| auditory evoked potentials | <investigation> A special neurologic test, known as brainstem auditory evoked potentials, which measures the brain and brainstem nervous response to auditory stimulation. A test used to evaluate neurologic integrity and hearing in newborns. Can be used in the evaluation of stroke, acoustic neuroma, Meniere's disease and multiple sclerosis (27 Sep 1997) |

| brainstem auditory evoked potentials | <investigation, physiology> A special neurologic test which measures the brainstem and brains nervous response to auditory stimulation. It is used to evaluate neurologic integrity and hearing in newborns. Can be used in the evaluation of stroke, acoustic neuroma, Meniere's disease and multiple sclerosis Acronym: BAEP (15 Nov 1997) |
| membrane potentials | Ratio of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride and other ions in diffusible tissues or cells. Also called transmembrane and resting potentials, they are measured by recording electrophysiologic responses in voltage-dependent ionic channels of (e.g.) nerve, muscle and blood cells as well as artificial membranes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cochlear microphonic potentials | The electric response of the cochlear hair cells to acoustic stimulation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| synaptic | <physiology> Pertaining to or affecting a synapse or synapsis. (10 Jan 1998) |
| synaptic boutons | The somewhat enlarged, often club-shaped endings by which axons make synaptic contacts with other nerve cells or with effector cells (muscle or gland cells). As isolated, by homogenizing brain or spinal cord, they contain acetylcholine and the related enzymes. Terminals contain neurotransmitters of various kinds, sometimes more than one. These can be demonstrated by chemical analysis and immunocytochemical methods. See: synapse. Synonym: axonal terminal boutons, end-feet, neuropodia, pieds terminaux, synaptic boutons, synaptic endings, synaptic terminals, terminal boutons, bouton terminaux. (05 Mar 2000) |
| synaptic cleft | <physiology> The narrow space between the presynaptic cell and the postsynaptic cell in a chemical synapse, across which the neurotransmitter diffuses. (10 Jan 1998) |
| synaptic conduction | The conduction of a nerve impulse across a synapse. (05 Mar 2000) |
| synaptic endings | The somewhat enlarged, often club-shaped endings by which axons make synaptic contacts with other nerve cells or with effector cells (muscle or gland cells). As isolated, by homogenizing brain or spinal cord, they contain acetylcholine and the related enzymes. Terminals contain neurotransmitters of various kinds, sometimes more than one. These can be demonstrated by chemical analysis and immunocytochemical methods. See: synapse. Synonym: axonal terminal boutons, end-feet, neuropodia, pieds terminaux, synaptic boutons, synaptic endings, synaptic terminals, terminal boutons, bouton terminaux. (05 Mar 2000) |
| synaptic membranes | Cell membranes associated with synapses. Both presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes are included along with their integral or tightly associated specializations for the release or reception of transmitters. (12 Dec 1998) |
| synaptic phase | <cell biology> The specific pairing of the chromatids of homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis. It allows crossing over to take place. (18 Nov 1997) |
| synaptic resistance | The ease or difficulty with which a nerve impulse can cross a synapse. (05 Mar 2000) |
| synaptic terminals | The somewhat enlarged, often club-shaped endings by which axons make synaptic contacts with other nerve cells or with effector cells (muscle or gland cells). As isolated, by homogenizing brain or spinal cord, they contain acetylcholine and the related enzymes. Terminals contain neurotransmitters of various kinds, sometimes more than one. These can be demonstrated by chemical analysis and immunocytochemical methods. See: synapse. Synonym: axonal terminal boutons, end-feet, neuropodia, pieds terminaux, synaptic boutons, synaptic endings, synaptic terminals, terminal boutons, bouton terminaux. (05 Mar 2000) |
| synaptic transmission | <physiology> The process of propagating a signal from one cell to another via a synapse. (10 Jan 1998) |
| synaptic vesicle | <cell biology> Intracellular vesicles found in the presynaptic terminals of chemical synapses, which contain neurotransmitter. During activity the vescles release their contents at the synapse and the neurotransmitter stimulate receptors on other cells. (10 Jan 1998) |
