Name: | optic tectum |
---|---|
Synonyms: | dorsal midbrain, mesencephalic tectum, tectal lobe, tectum, tectum opticum |
Definition: | Multi-tissue structure that is the dorsal part of the midbrain and develops from the alar plate and is the most complex layered structure in the zebrafish brain. |
Ontology: | Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0000445] |
Name: | excitatory postsynaptic potential |
---|---|
Synonyms: | regulation of EPSP, regulation of excitatory post-synaptic membrane potential |
Definition: | A process that leads to a temporary increase in postsynaptic potential due to the flow of positively charged ions into the postsynaptic cell. The flow of ions that causes an EPSP is an excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC) and makes it easier for the neuron to fire an action potential. |
Ontology: | GO: Biological Process [GO:0060079] QuickGO AmiGO |
Name: | increased process quality |
---|---|
Synonyms: | |
Definition: | A quality of a process that has a value that is increased compared to normal or average. |
Ontology: | Phenotypic Quality Ontology [PATO:0002304] |
