TranslationsNeuropil
neuropil[′nu̇r·ō‚pil] (neuroscience) Nervous tissue consisting of a fibrous network of nonmyelinated nerve fibers; gray matter with few nerve cell bodies; usually a region of synapses between axons and dendrites. Neuropil (1) An obsolete term designating a fibrous nerve tissue structure that is found predominantly in invertebrates. The supposedly interconnected nerve fibers form a continuous cytoplasmic network that resembles a syncytium. This use of the term “neuropil” does not accurately reflect the microstructure of the nervous system. (See.) (2) The fibrous nerve tissue structure in which synaptic contacts between neuronal outgrowths are concentrated. neuropil
neuropil [noor´ro-pil] a dense feltwork of interwoven cytoplasmic processes of nerve cells (dendrites and axons) and of neuroglial cells in the central nervous system and some parts of the peripheral nervous system.neu·ro·pil , neuropile (nū'rō-pil, -pīl), The complex, feltlike net of axonal, dendritic, and glial arborizations; forms the bulk of the central nervous system's gray matter, and in which the nerve cell bodies lie embedded. [neuro- + G. pilos, felt] neu·ro·pil , neuropile (nūr'ō-pil, -pīl) The complex, feltlike net of axonal, dendritic, and glial arborizations that forms most of the gray matter of the central nervous system, and in which the nerve cell bodies lie embedded.
