of agonists*.
ANTERIOR – Towards the front, e.g. anterior cingulate cortex – frontal part of the
cingulate cortex (part of the brain).
ANTEROGRADE AMNESIA – Inability to remember new information since the
moment, which triggered amnesia (e.g. stroke, head trauma).
ANTEROGRADE TRANSPORT – Transport of materials, e.g. neurotransmitter
molecules, along the axon, away from the neurone body to axon terminals* where the
material is needed. It uses neuronal cystoskeleton, i.e. the system of neurotubules and
neurofilaments which make a kind of scaffolding inside a neurone.
APHASIA – Absence of speech.
ASSOCIATION CORTEX – Areas of the cerebral cortex which are involved in higher
processing of sensory information. They integrate new information with that stored in
the memory.
ATP – Adenosine triphosphate, one of the so-called high-energy compounds produced
by the mitochondria* and needed as an energy donor in many cellular activities.
