See arcuatus.

A cell group in the Hypothalamus, located in the lowest part of the infundibulum adjacent to the median eminence; it is involved in neuroendocrine control through the release of releasing hormones and inhibitory hormones.Also known as: arcuate nucleus

postrema = Latin for 'back end area'. This is a large collection of very small 5-HT neurons that lie ventral to the fourth ventricle and are associated with the parabrachial area. The neurons are considered immature and have a bipolar or simple oval shape.

Arginine is a positively charged amino acid

See axilla.

Individual primary recombinant clones (hosted in phage, cosmid, YAC, or other vector ) that are placed in two-dimensional arrays in microtiter dishes. Each primary clone can be identified by the identity of the plate and the clone location (row and column) on that plate. Arrayed libraries of clones can be used for many applications, including screening for a specific gene or genomic region of interest as well as for physical MAPping . Information gathered on individual clones from physical MAP analyses is entered into a relational database and used to construct physical and genetic linkage MAPs simultaneously; clone identifiers serve to interrelate the multilevel MAPs. Cf. library, genomic library.
