Neurobioloogias sönade seletus, ingl keelne
PONS – A part of the hindbrain which controls respiration and regulates heart rhythm.
POSTERIOR- Towards the rear, e.g. posterior parietal cortex.
POSTSYNAPTIC MEMBRANE – A region of a neuronal membrane adjacent to a
presynaptic terminal. It contains postsynaptic receptors* to receive neurotransmitter
molecules.
PRESYNAPTIC MEMBRANE - A region of a neuronal membrane which belongs to
the nerve terminal. It is implicated in neurotransmitter release and re-uptake. It
contains presynaptic autoreceptors to control the amount of neurotransmitter released,
and re-uptake transporters to withdraw any surplus of neurotransmitter from the
synaptic cleft.
PROTEINS – Large molecules made of amino acids. One protein molecule consists
of more than 100 amino acids linked in one chain. They are essential for maintaining
the structure and function of all cells in the body, including neurones.
RECEPTOR – A protein* complex which is embedded in the cellular membrane and
