The part of the brain that is visible from the outside. The cerebral cortex is the outermost layer and consists of a collection of nerve cell bodies.  

visual cortex

Biology; Biochemistry

The part of the cerebral cortex that processes visual information. The visual cortex is where we actually see the images before our eyes.

limit dextrin

Biology; Biochemistry

The partially digested polysaccharide that is left after phosphorylase removes the outer tiers of glycogen or amylopectin and exposes the 16 branch points.

in situ PCR

Biology; Biochemistry

The performance of PCR on fixed preparations on a microscope slide.

refraction

Biology; Biochemistry

The phenomenon of a beam of light bending as the light's velocity changes. This occurs when the refractive index of the material through which the light is passing changes.

negative interference

Biology; Biochemistry

The phenomenon whereby a crossover in a particular region enhances the occurrence of other apparent crossovers in the same region of the chromosome.

dominant phenotype

Biology; Biochemistry

The phenotype of a genotype containing the dominant allele; the parental phenotype that is expressed in a heterozygote.
