Pre-proproteins
Biology; Neuroscience
The first protein translation products synthesised in a cell. These polypeptides are usually much larger than the final, mature peptide, and often contain signal sequences that target the peptide to ...

Tectorial membrane
Biology; Neuroscience
The fibrous sheet overlying the apical surface of the cochlear hair cells; produces a shearing motion of the stereocilia when the basilar membrane is displaced.
Tip links
Biology; Neuroscience
The filamentous structures that link the tips of adjacent stereocilia; thought to mediate the gating of the hair cell's transduction channels.
Optic tectum
Biology; Neuroscience
The first central station in the visual pathway of many vertebrates (analogous to the superior colliculus in mammals).
Undershoot
Biology; Neuroscience
The final, hyperpolarizing phase of an action potential, typically caused by the voltage-dependent efflux of a cation such as K+.
Passive flow
Biology; Neuroscience
The flow of electrical current across neuronal membranes that does not entail the action potential mechanism.
