Example Sentences:
(1) The policies of zero tolerance equip local and federal law-enforcement with increasingly autocratic powers of coercion and surveillance (the right to invade anybody's privacy, bend the rules of evidence, search barns, stop motorists, inspect bank records, tap phones) and spread the stain of moral pestilence to ever larger numbers of people assumed to be infected with reefer madness – anarchists and cheap Chinese labour at the turn of the 20th century, known homosexuals and suspected communists in the 1920s, hippies and anti-Vietnam war protesters in the 1960s, nowadays young black men sentenced to long-term imprisonment for possession of a few grams of short-term disembodiment.
(2) How can she be so self-avowedly hip (Revolver, reefer) and yet so naive (swinging)?
(3) Add an ending that's midnight-black, morally, yet somehow just right, and it's the kind of throwaway thriller that could only be improved by seeing it in a nighttime drive-in with a date, some reefer and a fifth of Old Harper.
(4) We're not just talking opposition to the Vietnam war and a few tokes on a reefer.
(5) If Trump allows Senator Sessions personal preference to dictate policy, we could be seeing a return to ‘reefer madness’ rhetoric and efforts to shut down voter-approved initiatives,” said Erik Altieri, executive director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (Norml).
(6) On the rare occasions that pundits revive tired Reefer Madness narratives, they are largely mocked or simply ignored.
(7) One promising sign is that last week the New York Times endorsed legalisation with a series of opinion pieces debunking myths about "reefer madness" and examining the social costs of locking up large numbers of young men, most of them black or Latino, on trivial possession charges.
(8) A saleswoman bags up a sale for a customer at Dr Reefer's marijuana dispensary at the University of Colorado, in Boulder.
Reeler
Definition:
(n.) One who reels.
(n.) The grasshopper warbler; -- so called from its note.
Example Sentences:
(1) Although the reeler, an autosomal recessive mutant mouse with the abnormality of lamination in the central nervous system, died about 3 weeks of age when fed ordinary laboratory chow, this mouse could grow up normally and prolong its destined, short lifespan to 50 weeks and more when given assistance in taking paste food and water from the weaning period.
(2) The metabolism of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the CNS was investigated in four kinds of morphologically different ataxic mice; reeler, staggerer, weaver and Purkinje cell degeneration mutants, and in hypocerebellar mice experimentally produced by injection of cytosine arabinoside.
(4) Reeler is an autosomal recessive mutation of mice that alters neuronal migration during development, yielding a general inversion of the laminae in the neocortex.
(5) Unlike dissociated hippocampal pyramidal cells, which frequently resemble their in vivo morphology, dissociated dentate granule cells bear little resemblance to their normal in vivo counterparts, but are very similar in appearance to the ectopic granule cells seen in the reeler mouse.
(6) Although we cannot determine whether the Purkinje cell loss in reeler is a primary or secondary gene effect, the possibility that the reeler gene has its effect on migration through a primary effect on neurogenesis or cell survival should be considered.
(7) The reeler cerebellum, which possesses an abnormal cytoarchitecture with numerous ectopically located Purkinje cells, was stained histochemically for the presence of 5'-nucleotidase.
(8) The distribution of the perikarya of astrocytes and other glial cells in the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus has been studied in gold chloride-sublimate preparations of rats and of normal and reeler mice, and in plastic embedded material from young adult rats.
(9) Nevertheless, while SS fibers in the normal cortex are most dense in layers I and V-VI, the reeler cortex exhibits little laminar heterogeneity in the distribution of these fibers.
(10) These comparative observations in normal and reeler mutant mice lend support to previous suggestions that L1, together with N-CAM, may play a role in the aggregation of neuronal cell bodies after migration and in the fasciculation of developing fiber bundles.
(11) This suggests that cell differentiation and the tangenital organization of reeler neocortex are normal despite cell malposition in the mutant.
(12) The specific content of P400 protein decreases in the cerebella from homozygous nervous and Purkinje cell degeneration mutant mice, where the total number of Purkinje cells is markedly reduced, and increases in those of the reeler and weaver mice where a deficit of the granule cells exists.
(13) Bergmann fibers and the distribution of Golgi epithelial cells were significantly altered in staggerer, reeler and double mutant (affected by both staggerer and reeler conditions).
(14) On the other hand, anomalies of Purkinje cells and Bergmann fibers, which are also present both in staggerer and reeler, did not follow the same additive change.
(15) However, in the reeler dentate gyrus, most postnatal cell proliferation occurs ectopically and in the hippocampus the normal "inside-out" sequence of neurogenesis is reversed, the earliest pyramidal cells generated coming to lie superficially within the stratum pyramidale and the later formed cells being added at progressively deeper levels.
(16) We performed a descriptive analysis on the arborization of dendritic processes of large pyramidal neurons in the motor cortex (hindlimb area) of normal and reeler mice, as seen in the Golgi preparations.
(17) In reeler, by contrast, fascicles of retinotectal axons are distributed through the entire thickness of SGS as well as through SO.
(18) It is evident from both cell-and fiber-stained sections that despite the obvious defect in the positioning of the hippocampal pyramidal and dentate granule cells in the reeler mouse within the radial dimension, the hippocampal formation as a whole shows a normal and consistent progression of cytoarchitectonic fields along its transverse axis, and a normal and consistent progression of changes in the structure of the hippocampus and dentate gyrus along their longitudinal axes.
(19) The characterization and thus the cloning of the reeler gene is therefore important for our understanding of brain development.
(20) The apical dendrites of the CC neurons in all layers of the cortex of the reeler mouse are randomly oriented; no direct relationship between the intracortical position of the soma and orientation of the apical dendrite was found.
