Somites
Biology; Neuroscience
Segmentally arranged masses of mesoderm that lie alongside the neural tube and give rise to skeletal muscle, vertebrae, and dermis.
Genomics
Biology; Neuroscience
Scientific field focusing on the analysis of DNA sequences, including both protein-coding DNA (genes) and non-coding DNA.
Baroreceptors
Biology; Neuroscience
Sensory receptors in the visceral motor system that respond to changes in blood pressure.
Synaptic transmission
Biology; Neuroscience
The chemical and electrical process by which the information encoded by action potentials is passed from a presynaptic (initiating) cell to a postsynaptic (target) cell.
Ventral roots
Biology; Neuroscience
The collection of nerve fibres containing motor axons that exit ventrally from the spinal cord and contribute the motor component of each segmental spinal nerve.
Cauda equina
Biology; Neuroscience
The collection of segmental ventral and dorsal roots that extend from the caudal end of the spinal cord to their exit from the spinal canal.
Subarachnoid space
Biology; Neuroscience
The cerebrospinal fluid—filled space over the surface of the brain that lies between the arachnoid and the pia.
