Spikelet
Definition:
(n.) A small or secondary spike; especially, one of the ultimate parts of the in florescence of grasses. See Illust. of Quaking grass.
Example Sentences:
(1) Small transient all-or-none depolarizations (also termed in the literature fast prepotentials, spikelets, pseudospikes, d-spikes, or short latency depolarizations) and their association with lucifer yellow (LY) dye-coupling were analyzed in CA1-CA3 hippocampal pyramidal cells in urethane anesthetized rats.
