[The region of the cerebral cortex that receives the auditory radiation from the MEDIAL GENICULATE BODY.

|
Auditory Diseases, Central
|
D001304 |
[Disorders of hearing or auditory perception due to pathological processes of the AUDITORY PATHWAYS in the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. These include CENTRAL HEARING LOSS and AUDITORY PERCEPTUAL DISORDERS.
] |
|
Auditory Fatigue
|
D001305 |
[Loss of sensitivity to sounds as a result of auditory stimulation, manifesting as a temporary shift in auditory threshold. The temporary threshold shift, TTS, is expressed in decibels.
] |
|
Auditory Pathways
|
D001306 |
[NEURAL PATHWAYS and connections within the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, beginning at the hair cells of the ORGAN OF CORTI, continuing along the eighth cranial nerve, and terminating at the AUDITORY CORTEX.
] |
|
Auditory Perception
|
D001307 |
[The process whereby auditory stimuli are selected, organized, and interpreted by the organism.
] |
|
Auditory Perceptual Disorders
|
D001308 |
[Acquired or developmental cognitive disorders of AUDITORY PERCEPTION characterized by a reduced ability to perceive information contained in auditory stimuli despite intact auditory pathways. Affected individuals have difficulty with speech perception, sound localization, and comprehending the meaning of inflections of speech.

|
Auditory Threshold
|
D001309 |
[The audibility limit of discriminating sound intensity and pitch.
] |
|
Augmented Reality
|
D000081411 |
[Technology in which images of virtual objects and/or other digital information are superimposed over the real time view of the physical objects providing a composite view with guides for carrying out a task with or on the physical objects.
] |
|
Auranofin
|
D001310 |
[An oral chrysotherapeutic agent for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Its exact mechanism of action is unknown, but it is believed to act via immunological mechanisms and alteration of lysosomal enzyme activity. Its efficacy is slightly less than that of injected gold salts, but it is better tolerated, and side effects which occur are potentially less serious.

|
Aureobasidium
|
D000084644 |
[A genus of fungi in the family Saccotheciaceae, order Dothideales, and phylum ASCOMYCOTA. Aureobasidium fungi are cosmopolitan and form black hyphae when colony is aged. Aureobasidium pullulans is best known and is one of the causative agents of PHAEOHYPHOMYCOSIS.
] |
|
Auricularia
|
D000084822 |
[A genus of fungi in the family Auriculariaceae, order Auriculariales and phylum BASIDIOMYCOTA. Auricularia fungi are basidiomycetes which are gelatinous, ear-shaped mushrooms in decaying wood.
] |
|
Auriculotherapy
|
D055097 |
[Treatment of pain, drug addictions, or other ailments by stimulating the various points on the external ear (EAR AURICLES). It is based on the ancient Chinese practices of EAR ACUPUNCTURE, but sometimes magnets and other modes of stimulation are used.
] |
|
Aurintricarboxylic Acid
|
D001312 |
[A dye which inhibits protein biosynthesis at the initial stages. The ammonium salt (aluminon) is a reagent for the colorimetric estimation of aluminum in water, foods, and tissues.
] |
|
Aurodox
|
D000899 |
[Antibiotic obtained from a Streptomyces variant considered as possibly effective against Streptococcus pyogenes infections. It may promote growth in poultry.
] |
|
Aurora Kinase A
|
D064096 |
[An aurora kinase that localizes to the CENTROSOME during MITOSIS and is involved in centrosome regulation and formation of the MITOTIC SPINDLE. Aurora A overexpression in many malignant tumor types suggests that it may be directly involved in NEOPLASTIC CELL TRANSFORMATION.
] |
|
Aurora Kinase B
|
D064107 |
[An aurora kinase that is a component of the chromosomal passenger protein complex and is involved in the regulation of MITOSIS. It mediates proper CHROMOSOME SEGREGATION and contractile ring function during CYTOKINESIS.
] |
|
Aurora Kinase C
|
D064108 |
[Aurora kinase C is a chromosomal passenger protein that interacts with aurora kinase B in the regulation of MITOSIS. It is found primarily in GERM CELLS in the TESTIS, and may mediate CHROMOSOME SEGREGATION during SPERMATOGENESIS.
] |
|
Aurora Kinases
|
D064127 |
[A family of highly conserved serine-threonine kinases that are involved in the regulation of MITOSIS. They are involved in many aspects of cell division, including centrosome duplication, SPINDLE APPARATUS formation, chromosome alignment, attachment to the spindle, checkpoint activation, and CYTOKINESIS.
] |
|
Aurothioglucose
|
D006051 |
[A thioglucose derivative used as an antirheumatic and experimentally to produce obesity in animals.
] |
|
Aurovertins
|
D001313 |
[Very toxic and complex pyrone derivatives from the fungus Calcarisporium arbuscula. They bind to and inhibit mitochondrial ATPase, thereby uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation. They are used as biochemical tools.
