DNA sequence (usually within 35 nucleotides upstream of the start site of transcription) to which the RNA polymerase and its associated factors bind to initiate transcription.

Cytoarchitectonic areas

Biology; Neuroscience

Distinct regions of the neocortical mantle identified by differences in cell size, packing density, and laminar arrangement.

Ruffini corpuscles

Biology; Neuroscience

Encapsulated cutaneous mechanosensory receptors specialised for the detection of cutaneous stretching produced by digit or limb movements.

Meissner corpuscles

Biology; Neuroscience

Encapsulated cutaneous mechanosensory receptors specialised for the detection of fine touch and pressure.

Holoprosencephaly

Biology; Neuroscience

Disrupted regional differentiation of the forebrain during development resulting in severe brain malformations.

Cerebral hemispheres

Biology; Neuroscience

Either of the two symmetrical halves of the cerebrum.

Electrophysiological recording

Biology; Neuroscience

Measure of the electrical activity across the membrane of a nerve cell by use of electrodes. Extracellular recording places the electrode outside but nearby the cell of interest; intracellular ...
