Action potential: A rapid change in cell membrane potential (the electrical potential difference across the cell membrane) followed by a return to the resting potential. An action potential is the basis of the signalcarrying ability of nerve cells. Adrenal glands: Small structures located on top of the kidneys that produce numerous hormones (e.g., glucocorticoids, which are important factors in the stress response). Affinity: A measure of how easily and tightly a substance binds to a receptor. Agonist: An agent that mimics the actions or effects of another agent (e.g., a drug that mimics the effects of a neurotransmitter). Alcohol deprivation effect: Animal model of relapse in which animals are first chronically exposed to alcohol, followed by a period during which alcohol is withheld; if alcohol is then reintroduced, the animals consume more alcohol than before the enforced abstinence period. Allele: One of two or more variants of a gene or other DNA sequences. Alternative splicing: The RNAsplicing variation mechanism in which the exons of the primary gene transcript, the premessenger RNA (mRNA), are separated and recon nected so as to produce alternative ribonucleotide arrangements. Alternative splicing uses genetic expression to facilitate the synthesis of a greater variety of proteins. Amygdala: Almondshaped groups of nerve cells (i.e., neurons) located deep in the brain that are involved in the processing and memory of emotional reactions. Anisotropic: Not having properties that are all in the same direction; showing differences in a property or effect in different directions. Antagonist: An agent that blocks or reverses the actions or effects of another agent (e.g., a drug that blocks the effects of a neurotransmitter). Anxiogenic: Anxiety inducing. Anxiolytic: Anxiety reducing. Astrocytes: Characteristic starshaped glial cells in the brain and spinal cord that, among other functions, provide nutrients to the nervous tissue, and play a principal role in repair and scarring process of the brain and spinal cord. Axon: The long, thin fiber protruding from a nerve cell that carries integrated nerve signals in the form of electrical signals to other nerve cells. Basal ganglia: A group of nuclei in the brain interconnected with the cerebral cortex, thalamus, and brainstem. Mammalian basal ganglia are associated with a variety of functions: motor control, cognition, emotions, and learning. Cation: Atom or molecule carrying a positive electrical charge. Caudate nucleus: A nucleus located within the basal ganglia of the brains of many animal species. It is involved with control of voluntary movement, and is an important part of the brain’s learning and memory system. Cerebellum: A region of the brain involved in the coordina tion of movement. Cerebrospinal fluid: Fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord.
