The phrase
"circuit mechanisms" refers to the processes or systems within an electrical circuit that control its functioning or behavior. It represents how different elements in a circuit work together to create specific outputs or responses.

Feeling the position of our limbs occurs automatically, without much thought and probably reflects fundamental
neural circuit mechanisms.
Our study forms the foundation to analyze the neural
circuit mechanisms underlying preparatory activity in a genetically tractable model organism.Short - term memories link events separated in time.
Progress in this research project has the potential to provide insights into large - scale
circuit mechanisms of cognitive deficits associated with schizophrenia and other mental disorders.
«In addition to
revealing circuit mechanisms underlying these learning - related changes, our findings may have implications in understanding the pathophysiology of psychiatric diseases, such as schizophrenia, that generate abnormal perception,» said Makino.
Researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have gained new insight into the genetic and
neuronal circuit mechanisms that may contribute to impaired sociability in some forms of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
«Jeanne's receipt of the Michael Prize is a great achievement, acknowledging her pioneering analysis of the role of
circuit mechanisms in epilepsy,» says Lennart Mucke, MD, director of the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease.

Francisco Circuit Mechanisms Underlying Basal Ganglia Function and Dysfunction
Thus, we are identifying molecular and
circuit mechanisms of brain dysfunction and exploring the therapeutic implications of enhancing inhibitory functions and / or restoring oscillatory rhythms in brain disorders associated with abnormal synchronization of neuronal networks, such as AD, schizophrenia, autism, or epilepsy.
Dr. Ressler's Neurobiology of Fear Laboratory, founded in 2001 at Emory University and relocated to McLean Hospital in 2015, investigates the molecular, genetic, epigenetic, and neural
circuit mechanisms underlying fear processes through an integration of animal models and human genetic research.
Increased fear memory generalization is associated with posttraumatic stress disorder, but
the circuit mechanisms that regulate memory specificity remain unclear.
We use in vivo physiology in behaving mice, including electroencephalography (EEG), local field potentials (LFP), and single - unit recordings, optogenetic approaches, genetic and pharmacological manipulations, and behavioral testing to dissect network and
circuits mechanisms of brain dysfunction in mouse models of AD.
