| Name: | posterior lateral line nerve |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | caudal lateral line nerve |
| Definition: | Cranial nerve which enters the brain between cranial nerves VIII and IX; contains afferents and sensory efferents to the posterior lateral line ganglion and middle ganglion. Fibers from the posterior lateral line ganglion innervate the occipital dorsal lateral line and trunk lateral lines. |

| Name: | postsynaptic density |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | neuronal postsynaptic density, post synaptic density, post-synaptic density, postsynaptic density of dendrite |
| Definition: | An electron dense network of proteins within and adjacent to the postsynaptic membrane of an asymmetric, neuron-neuron synapse. Its major components include neurotransmitter receptors and the proteins that spatially and functionally organize them such as anchoring and scaffolding molecules, signaling enzymes and cytoskeletal components. |

| Name: | neuromast hair cell |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | neuromast hair cells |
| Definition: | Neuromast hair cell is a hair cell that acts as a sensory receptor of the neuromast; it is morphologically polarized as a result of the relative position of the single kinocilium and the clusters of stereocilia on its apical surface. |

| Name: | cytoskeleton of presynaptic active zone |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | active zone cytomatrix, CAZ, pre-synaptic cytoskeletal matrix assembled at active zones, pre-synaptic dense body, pre-synaptic ribbon, presynaptic cytomatrix assembled at active zones, presynaptic cytoskeletal matrix, presynaptic cytoskeletal matrix assembled at active zones, presynaptic dense body, presynaptic ribbon, ribbon, synaptic ribbon, T-bar, T-bar ribbon |
| Definition: | The specialized cytoskeletal matrix of the presynaptic active zone. It has specialized functions in organizing synaptic events such as immobilisation or translocation of synaptic vesicles, and assembling active zone components. It is believed to form a molecular scaffold that organizes neurotransmitter release sites. |
