GO:0002023 | reduction of food intake in response to dietary excess | biological_process | An eating behavior process whereby detection of a dietary excess results in a decrease in intake of nutrients. [GOC:pg, GOC:pr, PMID:12161655, PMID:12840200] |
GO:0007155 | cell adhesion | biological_process | The attachment of a cell, either to another cell or to an underlying substrate such as the extracellular matrix, via cell adhesion molecules. [GOC:hb, GOC:pf] |
GO:0045163 | clustering of voltage-gated potassium channels | biological_process | The process in which voltage-gated potassium channels become localized together in high densities. In animals, voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels are clustered beneath the myelin sheath in regions immediately adjacent to paranodes, called juxtaparanodes, and along the inner mesaxon within the internode. [PMID:11456440] |

GO:0071206 | establishment of protein localization to juxtaparanode region of axon | biological_process | The directed movement of a protein to the juxtaparanode region of an axon. [GOC:BHF, GOC:mah] |
GO:0097090 | presynaptic membrane organization | biological_process | A process which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a presynaptic membrane, including any proteins associated with the membrane, but excluding other cellular components. A presynaptic membrane is a specialized area of membrane of the axon terminal that faces the plasma membrane of the neuron or muscle fiber with which the axon terminal establishes a synaptic junction. [GOC:BHF, GOC:pr, GOC:sjp, PMID:19730411] |
GO:0045211 | postsynaptic membrane | cellular_component | A specialized area of membrane facing the presynaptic membrane on the tip of the nerve ending and separated from it by a minute cleft (the synaptic cleft). Neurotransmitters cross the synaptic cleft and transmit the signal to the postsynaptic membrane. [ISBN:0198506732] |
GO:0005886 | plasma membrane | cellular_component | The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. [ISBN:0716731363] |
GO:0033268 | node of Ranvier | cellular_component | An axon part that is a gap in the myelin where voltage-gated sodium channels cluster and saltatory conduction is executed. [GOC:mh] |
GO:0043194 | axon initial segment | cellular_component | Portion of the axon proximal to the neuronal cell body, at the level of the axon hillock. The action potentials that propagate along the axon are generated at the level of this initial segment. [GOC:nln, GOC:sl, PMID:1754851, PMID:21551097] |
GO:0043209 | myelin sheath | cellular_component | An electrically insulating fatty layer that surrounds the axons of many neurons. It is an outgrowth of glial cells |
GO:0044224 | juxtaparanode region of axon | cellular_component | A region of an axon near a node of Ranvier that is between the paranode and internode regions. [GOC:BHF, GOC:jl, PMID:10624965, PMID:14682359] |
GO:0045202 | synapse | cellular_component | The junction between an axon of one neuron and a dendrite of another neuron, a muscle fiber or a glial cell. As the axon approaches the synapse it enlarges into a specialized structure, the presynaptic terminal bouton, which contains mitochondria and synaptic vesicles. At the tip of the terminal bouton is the presynaptic membrane; facing it, and separated from it by a minute cleft (the synaptic cleft) is a specialized area of membrane on the receiving cell, known as the postsynaptic membrane. In response to the arrival of nerve impulses, the presynaptic terminal bouton secretes molecules of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These diffuse across the cleft and transmit the signal to the postsynaptic membrane. [GOC:aruk, ISBN:0198506732, PMID:24619342, PMID:29383328, PMID:31998110] |
GO:0098552 | side of membrane | cellular_component | A cellular component consisting of one leaflet of a membrane bilayer and any proteins embedded or anchored in it or attached to its surface. [GOC:dos] |
GO:0050808 | synapse organization | biological_process | A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a synapse, the junction between a neuron and a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell). [GOC:ai, GOC:pr] |
GO:0007411 | axon guidance | biological_process | The chemotaxis process that directs the migration of an axon growth cone to a specific target site in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. [ISBN:0878932437] |
GO:0030424 | axon | cellular_component | The long process of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses, usually away from the cell body to the terminals and varicosities, which are sites of storage and release of neurotransmitter. [GOC:nln, ISBN:0198506732] |
GO:0098632 | cell-cell adhesion mediator activity | molecular_function | The binding by a cell-adhesion protein on the cell surface to an extracellular matrix component, to mediate adhesion of the cell to another cell. [Wikipedia:Cell_adhesion] |
GO:0070593 | dendrite self-avoidance | biological_process | The process in which dendrites recognize and avoid contact with sister dendrites from the same cell. [GOC:sart, PMID:17482551] |
GO:0007156 | homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules | biological_process | The attachment of a plasma membrane adhesion molecule in one cell to an identical molecule in an adjacent cell. [ISBN:0198506732] |
