Genes that are synthesised de novo after a cell is stimulated; usually refers to transcriptional activator proteins that are synthesised after preexisting transcription factors are first activated by ...

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH)

Biology; Neuroscience

Genetic deficiency that leads to overproduction of androgens and a resultant masculinization of external genitalia in genotypic females.

Local circuit neurons

Biology; Neuroscience

General term referring to neurons whose activity mediates interactions between sensory systems and motor systems; interneuron is often used as a synonym.

Radial glia

Biology; Neuroscience

Glial cells that contact both the luminal and pial surfaces of the neural tube, providing a substrate for neuronal migration.

Transducin

Biology; Neuroscience

G-protein involved in the phototransduction cascade.

Excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP)

Biology; Neuroscience

Neurotransmitterinduced postsynaptic potential change that depolarizes the cell, and hence increases the likelihood of initiating a postsynaptic action potential.
