Neuroleptic (medicine)


neuroleptic
<pharmacology> A term coined to refer to the effects on cognition and behaviour of antipsychotic drugs, which produce a state of apathy, lack of initiative and limited range of emotion and in psychotic patients cause a reduction in confusion and agitation and normalisation of psychomotor activity.

Origin: Gr. Lepsis = a taking hold


Parboil (recipes)


This means to boil Vegetables until they’re just slightly cooked. It’s a technique that’s used to part-cook potatoes and Other hard root Vegetables prior to roasting them at a high temperature to ensure the inside is cooked while the outside crisps up well. The technique can also be used for meats, such as pork or chicken, before it is cooked on the barbecue, in order to ensure they' re fully cooked throughout.
