"Electrochemical signals" refers to the electrical impulses sent between cells in our bodies that help transmit information and coordinate various functions.
Full definition
The most likely scenario, Shatz believed, was that the molecules sat on a neuron's postsynaptic terminals, where
electrochemical signals from other neurons are received.
Our brains are composed of billions of individual cells called neurons, which communicate along millions of billions of channels
with electrochemical signals.
Typically, when light passes through the transparent tissue of the retina and strikes photoreceptors, they
initiate electrochemical signals that propagate forward through a layer of bipolar cells to ganglion cells.
Glassy carbon electrodes are also unique in that these electrodes have capacity not only to deliver and receive higher - quality electrical signals, but they can also simultaneously detect in real -
time electrochemical signals (neurotransmitters, like serotonin and dopamine) released by neurons as they communicate with the electrode.
Building on an understanding of how foods are tested for antioxidants, an iridium salt was used to probe blood serum samples for detectable optical and
electrochemical signals that indicate oxidative stress in the body.
The change is translated into
an electrochemical signal that is picked up by nerve cells, which relay it to the brain.
Neuromodulation — adjusting
the electrochemical signals at the neural level — offers a potential solution.
These fragmented mitochondria lose their ability to carry
an electrochemical signal and produce energy.
Biologists have discovered how an outer shield over T - type channels change
the electrochemical signaling of heart and brain cells.
A paper - based device that mimics
the electrochemical signalling in the human brain has been created by a group of researchers from China.
A new open - source sensor project taps into
the electrochemical signals that plants send in response to the environment around them.
