SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
Nonclassical receptive field
Classical receptive fields are plotted by spots of light or moving stimuli. If a cell responds consistently to that stimulus then the location of that stimulus is said to be within the cells classical receptive field. Activity outside that area can influence a cell's response to the original stimulus. Examples : Motion, Color.
Noncompliance

Narcolepsy

Natural Medicine
A term used to describe the philosophy of the particular alternative systems that emphasize Vis Medicatrix Naturae, "the healing power of nature." The therapeutic emphasis is on supporting or stimulating the organism’s self-healing processes, rather than treating the symptoms or the disease. The "healing power" of nature is found in the innate homeostatic and healing systems of the body and mind of the living organism, not in the natural medicinal substance or therapy. This is also sometimes call "vitalistic" medicine.
Nuclear Medicine
Imaging technique where small amounts of radioactive substances (radio-isotopes) are injected into a patient to trace disease processes. Sometimes the radioactive substance may concentrate directly in an organ/tissue, but in most cases it has to be attached to a carrier molecule with a "preference" for a certain tissue or disease process. The concentrated radioactivity may be detected by a so-called gamma camera as typical "hot spots".
