Giant fiber neuron
|
A large, descending neuron that controls jump escape behavior (GO:0007630). Each adult has a bilaterally symmetric pair of these neurons, each with a large cell body at the posterior of the protocerebrum and a long primary neurite (GO:0070852) that branches to forms an extensive dendritic tree in the brain and an axon that projects, via the cervical connective, to the mesothorax. Targets of dendritic arborization include zone A of the antennal mechanosensory and motor center (AMMC) (Kamikouchi et al, 2009) and the inferior ventro-lateral protocerebrum. In the mesothorax, the axon forms electrical synapses with tergotrochanteral muscle motor neuron (TTMn) and peripherally synapsing interneurons (PSI)) of the mesothorax that in turn synapse to the motor neurons of the dorso-longitudinal flight muscles.

Glasgow coma scale
|
is a neurological scale that aims to give a reliable, objective way of recording the conscious state of a person for initial as well as subsequent assessment. A patient is assessed against the criteria of the scale, and the resulting points give a patient score between 3 (indicating deep unconsciousness) and either 14 (original scale) or 15 (the more widely used modified or revised scale).

Glass Electrode
|
A glass electrode is a type of ion-selective electrode made of a doped glass membrane that is sensitive to a specific ion. It is an important part of the instrumentation for chemical analysis and physico-chemical studies. In modern practice, widely used membranous ion-selective electrodes (ISE, including glasses) are part of a galvanic cell. The electric potential of the electrode system in solution is sensitive to changes in the content of a certain type of ions, which is reflected in the dependence of the electromotive force (EMF) of galvanic element concentrations of these ions.

Glaucoma
|
Group of diseases that affect the optic nerve and involves a loss of retinal ganglion cells in a characteristic pattern. It is a type of optic neuropathy. Raised intraocular pressure is a significant risk factor for developing glaucoma (above 22 mmHg or 2.9 kPa). One person may develop nerve damage at a relatively low pressure, while another person may have high eye pressure for years and yet never develop damage. Untreated glaucoma leads to permanent damage of the optic nerve and resultant visual field loss, which can progress to blindness. - adapted from Wikipedia
