Synapse Formation And Memory
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BEHAVIORAL NEUROSCIENCE, VOL 3: P-Z(2010)
摘要
Cortex - The outside layer of an organ, in this case the brain.Dendritic spine - A tiny protrusion that extends from the dendrite of a neuron which is used to receive synaptic input from another neuron.Estrogens - Steroid compounds which function as the primary female sex hormone.Golgi stain - A histological technique first developed over 100 years ago by Golgi and Ramon y Cajal that uses metallic impregnation to randomly label a small number of cells in their entirety so that detailed information regarding dendritic branching, length, and spine density can be measured.Hippocampus - A brain structure located deep in the medial temporal lobe which plays a critical role in some processes of learning and memory, especially those related to trace conditioning, declarative memory, and spatial navigation learning.NMDA receptor - Binds the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate.Postsynaptic density - Otherwise known as PSD, these cytoskeleton specializations are located at the membrane of a postsynaptic neuron and consist of receptors, ion channels, and signaling systems involved in synaptic transmission.Sex differences - Systematic difference between individuals of a different sex but within the same species.
