hodophobicとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

From hodo- (prefix meaning ‘path, road; travel’) +‎ -phobic (suffix forming adjectives indicating an aversion または dislike, または a fear of a specific thing). Hodo- is derived from Ancient Greek ὁδός (hodós, “path, road, way; journey”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *sed- (“to sit”); while -phobic is from -phobia (from Late Latin -phobia, from Koine Greek -φοβία (-phobía), ultimately from Ancient Greek φόβος (phóbos, “alarm, fear, terror”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰegʷ- (“to flee, run”)) + -ic (suffix forming adjectives meaning ‘of または pertaining to’ from nouns).

Sense 1 (“of the dendrites of neurons: tending not to form branches”) was possibly coined by Enrique Ramón-Moliner and Walle Nauta in a 1966 article: see the quotation.

     The majority of the territories usually included in the brain stem reticular formation exhibit the characteristic of "hodophilic" dendrites, in contrast to, for example, the inferior olive and pontine nuclei in which the dendrites are rarely found to extend into fiber bundles and could thus be described as "hodophobic."

     The dendrites of the pontine neurons are not as "hodophobic" as those of the inferior olivary nucleus.

     Ramón-Moliner and Nauta (1966) designated the closed nuclei, in which dendrites do not extend into adjacent fibre bundles, as ‘hodophobic’.

     This dendritic pattern corresponds to the hodophobic tendencies of allodendritic neurons found in the analogue nucleus of cat,^[sic] but in the guinea pig these neurons are weakly branched.

     Ramon-Moliner and Nauta (Ramon-Moliner かつ Nauta, 1966) proposed division of brainstem nuclei into two major groups: (1) "closed" nuclei with relatively homogeneous perikaryal morphology and specialized, hodophobic dendrites that remain confined to nuclear boundaries; and (2) "open" nuclei with non-specialized (isodendritic) and overlapping dendritic branches, considerable cytological heterogeneity, and hodophilic tendency for spread into nearby fiber bundles.

2. (psychiatry) Suffering from hodophobia; pathologically afraid of travel.

   Antonym: hodophilic

     Cars are small. Too small. Your dog gets claustrophobic. Your gear gets cleisiophobic (fear of being locked in small, enclosed spaces). Your significant other gets hodophobic (fear of road travel). It's enough to make you lyssophobic (fear of going mad). Which is just another way of saying, at Isuzu, we're carophobic. That's why we make the surprisingly spacious Isuzu Rodeo.
