Neurotransmitters cross the synaptic cleft and transmit the signal to the postsynaptic membrane." [ISBN:0198506732] EOG8PZMMK GO:0071683 1/96 sensory dendrite cellular_component "A dendrite that is found on a sensory neuron, and directly transduces a sensory signal from the sensory neuron to another neuron." [GOC:dos, GOC:kmv, GOC:mah] EOG8PZMMK GO:0034220 1/96 ion transmembrane transport biological_process "A process in which an ion is transported from one side of a membrane to the other by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore." [GOC:mah] EOG8PZMMK GO:0008328 1/96 ionotropic glutamate receptor complex cellular_component "A multimeric assembly of four or five subunits which form a structure with an extracellular N-terminus and a large loop that together form the ligand binding domain. The C-terminus is intracellular. The ionotropic glutamate receptor complex itself acts as a ligand-gated ion channel; on binding glutamate, charged ions pass through a channel in the center of the receptor complex." [http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Synaptic/info/glutamate.html] EOG8PZMMK GO:0035249 1/96 synaptic transmission, glutamatergic biological_process "The process of communication from a neuron to another neuron across a synapse using the neurotransmitter glutamate."

[GOC:dos, GOC:mah, ISBN:0815316194] EOG8PZMMK GO:0005929 1/96 cilium cellular_component "A specialized eukaryotic organelle that consists of a filiform extrusion of the cell surface and of some cytoplasmic parts. Each cilium is largely bounded by an extrusion of the cytoplasmic (plasma) membrane, and contains a regular longitudinal array of microtubules, anchored to a basal body." [GOC:cilia, GOC:kmv, GOC:vw, ISBN:0198547684] EOG8PZMMK GO:0007608 1/96 sensory perception of smell biological_process "The series of events required for an organism to receive an olfactory stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. Olfaction involves the detection of chemical composition of an organism's ambient medium by chemoreceptors. This is a neurological process." [GOC:ai, http://www.onelook.com/] EOG8PZMMK GO:0015276 1/96 ligand-gated ion channel activity molecular_function "Enables the transmembrane transfer of an ion by a channel that opens when a specific ligand has been bound by the channel complex or one of its constituent parts." [GOC:mtg_transport, ISBN:0815340729] EOG8PZMMK GO:0050907 1/96 detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception biological_process "The series of events in which a chemical stimulus is received and converted into a molecular signal as part of sensory perception." [GOC:ai, GOC:dos] EOG8PZMMK GO:0035235 1/96 ionotropic glutamate receptor signaling pathway biological_process "A series of molecular signals initiated by glutamate binding to a glutamate receptor on the surface of the target cell, followed by the movement of ions through a channel in the receptor complex. Ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription." [GOC:signaling, ISBN:0198506732]
