Sentences with phrase «activity in a single experiment»

«While ChIP - seq is very powerful in that it can query an entire genome for characteristics associated with enhancer activity in a single experiment, it can fail to identify some enhancers and identify some sites as being enhancers when they really aren't,» says Diane Dickel, a geneticist with Berkeley Lab's Genomics Division and member of the SIF - seq development team.

Monkeys typically find other monkeys impossible to ignore, and this experiment was no exception: the monkeys often failed at the reward task because they looked at the faces, especially if the faces depicted emotion.When humans are torn between paying attention to two different things, it triggers a «conflict» circuit in a brain region called the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) which is part of a larger brain structure controlling rational thought and emotions.Using a tiny sensor implanted in the dACCs of the monkeys, Platt's group was able to measure the electrical activity of single neurons.

«This study provides proof - of - concept experiments, in large animal models, that a small, miniaturized device can be safely implanted in the brain and provide miniaturized control of the electrical activity and function of single neurons or small groups of neurons.

Either the activity could not have been done (e.g., as when collecting real - time data with a probe) or it could not have been done in the available time (e.g., replicating experiments in a single class period).
