Biology; Neuroscience

Membrane pumps that use the hydrolysis of ATP to translocate ions against their electrochemical gradients.

ion exchangers

Biology; Neuroscience

Membrane transporters that translocate one or more ions against their concentration gradient by using the electrochemical gradient of other ions as an energy source.

adenylyl cyclase

Biology; Neuroscience

Membrane-bound enzyme that can be activated by G-proteins to catalyze the synthesis of cyclic AMP from ATP.

declarative memory

Biology; Neuroscience

Memories available to consciousness that can be expressed by language.

working memory

Biology; Neuroscience

Memories held briefly in mind that enable a particular task to be accomplished (e.g., efficiently searching a room for a lost object).
