neurological
(adjective)
Dealing with the brain or the study of the brain.
Examples of neurological in the following topics:
-
Habituation, Sensitization, and Potentiation
- Recall that sensory adaptation involves the gradual decrease in neurological sensory response caused by the repeated application of a particular stimulus over time.
- Sensitization is the strengthening of a neurological response to a stimulus due to the response to a secondary stimulus.
- Habituation and sensitization work in different ways neurologically.
-
Sleep-Wake Disorders
- ., asthma, diabetes, heart disease, pregnancy, or a neurological condition), or abuse of alcohol or drugs.
- Hypersomnolence disorder (also known as idiopathic hypersomnia) is a disease of likely neurological origin that is characterized primarily by severe, excessive daytime sleepiness.
- Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to move one's body to stop uncomfortable or odd sensations.
-

Autism Spectrum Disorder

- It challenges the idea that such neurological differences are inherently pathological, instead asserting that differences should be recognized and respected as a social category on a par with gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or disability status.
-
Neuroplasticity
- "Synaptic (or neuronal or axon) pruning" refers to neurological regulatory processes that facilitate changes in neural structure by reducing the overall number of neurons and synapses, leaving more efficient synaptic configurations.
