From the NOMSG group:

Autolyzed Yeast: Yeast is put through a chemical process which releases MSG,
similar to hydrolysis. In addition, pure MSG may be added without
designating so on the label. Used for flavoring.

Yeast Extract: Similar to Autolyzed yeast.

Note in Dr. Twogood's post they are in a list of other names for MSG.

Don.
