Sassafras vs. Sarsaparilla - confusion between the two! See Scientific American article from 100+ years ago, found in recent issue (date?). See also: Sarsi (drink)
Lesion study - important neuroscience research technique; "The use of structure to infer function was adopted for experimentation, and much of neuroscience rests upon observations made by purposefully damaging a distinct brain region, nerve or tract in an experimental animal and observing and documenting the subsequent loss of function." (reference: Purves pp. 16)
double labeling - labeling neurons in a particular region using two different methods, e.g. anterograde tracing and enzyme labeling (reference: Carlson pp. 164)
Radioactive tag - mentioned in many articles, but never explained anywhere
Active form - extensively used, especially in the context of chemistry, but never explained anywhere
Molar excess - this term is used everywhere, yet there is no clear explanation of it; refers to the compound in a reaction that has more moles than are necessary to complete the reaction in full (the direction of the reaction is unimportant, c.f. Le Chatlier's principle)
Neural tract - "A collection of axons in the central nervous system having the same origin, termination, and function." (reference: Marieb pp. G-19) ; equivalent to a nerve in the PNS
relationship to Neural pathway? Biological tracts in general (e.g. GI tract)? Proposed titles for a more general article were "Tract (biology)" or "Tract (anatomy)"
Presynaptic specialization & Postsynaptic specialization - used in a vague manner throughout Neuroscience 4e, e.g. "Typically, the presynaptic terminal is immediately adjacent to a postsynaptic specialization of the target cell." (reference: Purves pp. 7); probably refers to certain features of receptor proteins and/or the morphology of dendrites
Charles Bradley - child psychiatrist who conducted the earliest experiments on the use of amphetamine as drug therapy, providing the precursor for the subsequent development of theories about ADD and ADHD. (reference: Samuel Barondes, "Better Than Prozac", pp. 61 and onward)
Neuromodulation - remove "merge" tag on September 1st, 2009. Article also needs work.
Does Kinase link to Phosphatase, and vice-versa (with explanations)?
Gravity (beer) - Get better image of hydrometer, Link to/from other homebrewing articles, explain that the term is used in relation to all alcoholic beverages although consumers only see it in relation to beer
