Neuroscience
Gamma (γ) motor neurons
Biology; Neuroscience
Class of spinal motor neurons specifically concerned with the regulation of muscle spindle length; these neurons innervate the intrafusal muscle fibres of the spindle.
Pontine nuclei
Biology; Neuroscience
Collections of neurons in the pons that receive input from the cerebral cortex and send their axons across the midline to the cerebellar cortex via the middle cerebellar peduncle.
Gamma (g) motor neurons
Biology; Neuroscience
Class of spinal motor neurons specifically concerned with the regulation of muscle spindle length; these neurons innervate the intrafusal muscle fibres of the spindle.
Non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep
Biology; Neuroscience
Collectively, those phases of sleep characterised by the absence of rapid eye movements.
Pyriform cortex
Biology; Neuroscience
Component of cerebral cortex in the temporal lobe pertinent to olfaction; so named because of its pearlike shape.
Nucleus
Biology; Neuroscience
Collection of nerve cells in the brain that are anatomically discrete, and which typically serve a particular function.
Determination
Biology; Neuroscience
Commitment of a developing cell or cell group to a particular fate.
