The full scientific name of the procedure Bashir underwent at age seven. It involves increased growth of the neural networks in the cerebral cortex.
[Doctor Bashir, I Presume]
basilar arterial scan
When O'Brien encountered a future in which he had died of radiation nerve damage, the future Bashir told him to tell Bashir's past self to run one in order to catch the damage in time. O'Brien did so. [Visionary]
biomolecular replication
Bashir's "audacious and groundbreaking" work in this field earned him a nomination for the 2371 Carrington Award. [Prophet Motive]
DNA reference scan
Kajada had Bashir run one on Vantika's body to verify its identity.
[The Passenger]
DNA resequencing
A procedure in which a subject is genetically engineered for specific traits. It is illegal except to correct severe birth defects, but it was going on on Adigeon Prime in 2348, when Bashir's parents had it done to him. Any individual discovered to have been so treated is barred from serving in Starfleet or practicing medicine, in order to discourage the creation of genetic "supermen" like Khan Singh. In some instances the subject suffers incurable mental side effects. [Doctor Bashir, I Presume ; Statistical Probabilities]
Note: O'Brien said in "Doctor Bashir, I Presume" that there hadn't been a case in 100 years; this was contradicted in "Statistical Probabilities" by the revelation that there were several genetically engineered people who had been institutionalized due to incurable side effects of the treatment. (O'Brien very probably was unaware of them.)
electrophoretic analysis
A medical test of cellular components. Bashir used it to determine the origin of cell material found in Ibudan's quarters. [A Man Alone]
enzymatic induction
Tried by Bashir and Mora to stabilize the baby Changeling's molecular matrix; it failed. [The Begotten]
hexagen therapy
A treatment for Yarim-Fel syndrome. [Ties of Blood and Water]
hypothalmic feedback loop
Bashir planned to trigger one by raising his blood pressure in order to pull himself and O'Brien out of Sloan's mind. [Extreme Measures]
nadion bursts
Bashir suggested slowing down the progress of the Founder's disease in Odo with a series of these. [Extreme Measures]
neural imaging scan
A medical scan to test a patient's visual cortex. Bashir did one on O'Brien when O'Brien came down with aphasia. [Babel]
neural pathway induction
A procedure which was needed to treat Kira for the neural pathway damage she received from an energy discharge as the Defiant entered the energy barrier surrounding Gaia. The Defiant didn't have the right equipment available.
[Children of Time]
neural polaric induction
A very serious operation which Bashir needed to perform on Sisko to repolarize his neural sheaths following an accident in which the holosuite computer shorted out and knocked him unconscious. The depolarization was causing heightened neural activity, during which Sisko was experiencing visions. Sisko refused the operation, not wanting to lose the visions, but after he collapsed and was near death, Jake gave his consent as the closest relative. The operation was a success. (Interestingly, this was during the period when Bashir had been replaced by a Changeling, which wasn't revealed until a few episodes later.) [Rapture]
neuromuscular adaptation
A biochemical treatment intended to help members of low-gravity species adapt to higher gravity. It was first proposed by Nathaniel Teros in 2340, but abandoned in the theoretical stage. Thirty years later, Bashir made it a reality using neo-analyptic transmitters, and began treatments on Melora, until she chose to discontinue them. [Melora]
