- neuron activation variant
Activity of the neuron varies from that observed for control animals or neurons. In C. elegans neuron activity is often assayed by observing calcium spikes.
- obsolete neuron physiology variant
OBSOLETE: Activity of the neuron varies from that observed for control animals or neurons. In C. elegans neuron activity is often assayed by observing calcium spikes.
- synaptic transmission variant
Any variation in the process of communication across a synapse between a neuron and a target cell (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) compared to control animals.
- transmission of nerve impulse variant
Transmission of the signal along the neuron varies from control. This process includes the flow of information from the neuron cell body to the synapse and across to the postsynaptic cell.
- motor neuron morphology variant
Animals display variations in the structure or organization of components of the motor neuron, internal to the cell itself or in relation to the cellular environment compared to that observed in control animals. A motor neuron is a neuronal cell that synapses to an effector (muscle, gland etc.).
- synapse density variant
The number of synapses per unit area of a neuron differs in the animal compared to that observed for control animals.
