What's the difference between cephalization and neural?

Cephalization


Definition:

  • (n.) Domination of the head in animal life as expressed in the physical structure; localization of important organs or parts in or near the head, in animal development.

  • (11) Conventional Roentgenographic Cephalometric Methods (RCM) have certain conceptual and geometric constraints that ensure that their descriptions of cephalic growth and comparisons of cephalic form are reference-frame-dependent; and it is impossible to determine which, if any, RCM reference frame provides a biologically more correct description or comparison.
  • (12) To better understand the mechanism of cerebral blood flow during CPR in humans, we determined the aortic-carotid artery pressure difference, the cephalic perfusion pressure (the carotid artery-jugular vein pressure difference), and thoracic inlet venous "valving" (the central venous-jugular vein pressure difference), while administering standard doses of epinephrine.

Dilated pupils E. Pupils unresponsive to light F. Absence of cephalic reflexes G. Electrocerebral Silence (ECS) 6.
  • (18) On the contrary, the SEPs obtained with a cephalic reference on stimulating the posterior tibial nerves were of small amplitude and disorganized.
  • (19) The cephalic signal can be superseded by juvenile hormone, whose presence is necessary for each follicle to become vitellogenic.
  • (20) The cells contained spherical granules with variable densities and diameters ranging between 40 and 280 nm in the rostral (=cephalic) lobe, and between 60 and 260 nm in the caudal lobe.

Neural


Definition:

  • (a.) relating to the nerves or nervous system; taining to, situated in the region of, or on the side with, the neural, or cerebro-spinal, axis; -- opposed to hemal. As applied to vertebrates, neural is the same as dorsal; as applied to invertebrates it is usually the same as ventral. Cf. Hemal.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) By presenting the case history of a man who successively developed facial and trigeminal neural dysfunction after Mohs chemosurgery of a PCSCC, this paper documents histologically the occurrence of such neural invasion, and illustrates the utility of gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance scanning in patient management.
  • (2) Some common eye movement deficits, and concepts such as 'the neural integrator' and the 'velocity storage mechanism', for which anatomical substrates are still sought, are introduced.
  • (3) Based on our results, we propose the following hypotheses for the neurochemical mechanisms of motion sickness: (1) the histaminergic neuron system is involved in the signs and symptoms of motion sickness, including vomiting; (2) the acetylcholinergic neuron system is involved in the processes of habituation to motion sickness, including neural store mechanisms; and (3) the catecholaminergic neuron system in the brain stem is not related to the development of motion sickness.
  • (4) This attack can take place during organogenesis, during early differentiation of neural anlagen after neural tube closure or during biochemical differentiation of the brain.
  • (5) This effect of adrenalectomy on MNE excitability was further demonstrated by recording directly the neostigmine-induced repetitive neural discharges responsible for the muscle fasciculations.
  • (6) It is also suggested that degenerative changes occur in the dentate gyrus and may be involved in the delayed neural death of CA1 pyramidal cells.
  • (7) This study examines the morphology of sporadic congenital microphthalmia in 1-day-old chicks, with particular emphasis on the neural retina.
  • (8) Hence, the absence of NGF receptors on premigratory neural crest and early migratory neural crest cultures was not due to enzymatic alterations of the receptor.
  • (9) By 3 d in the chick embryo, the first neurons detected by antibodies to Ng-CAM are located in the ventral neural tube; these precursors of motor neurons emit well-stained fibers to the periphery.
