Sentences with phrase «electrophysiological studies»
"Electrophysiological studies" refers to scientific investigations that examine the electrical activity in biological organisms, such as the brain, heart, or nerves, to understand how they function. Full definition
In Dr. Scott's lab Paul worked on electrophysiological studies of neural representations of motor skills in non-human primates.

Working together, they performed the crucial electrophysiological studies on the mutated sodium - potassium pump, and the studies showed that the presence of the inserted positively charged arginine converts the sodium - potassium pump to an electroneutral pump just like the acid pump.
Electrostatic properties of the side portals and positions of the T1 domain and β subunit are consistent with electrophysiological studies of inactivation gating and with the possibility of K + channel regulation by the β subunit.
A previous electrophysiological study demonstrated that individual feedback neurons showed multimodal sensitivity [44].
Electrophysiological studies in basal ganglia slices from symptomatic transgenic BACHD rats carrying full length mutant huntingtin has shown increased GP and decreased STN firing consistent with this hypothesis1.
Based on evidence from electrophysiological studies showing that both synaptic plasticity and strength of inputs to hippocampal region CA1 vary systematically with ongoing theta oscillations (Hyman et al., 2003; Brankack et al., 1993), it has been suggested that the theta rhythm functions to separate periods of encoding of current sensory stimuli and retrieval of episodic memory cued by current stimuli so as to avoid interference that would occur if encoding and retrieval were simultaneous.
Methods employed in cognitive neuroscience include psychophysical experiments, functional neuroimaging, electrophysiological studies of neural systems and, increasingly, cognitive genomics and behavioral genetics.
They reviewed brain imaging and electrophysiological studies, including electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), functional near - infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
TAS carried out all experiments involving C. elegans and contributed to writing of the manuscript, IMS and JX carried out electrophysiology experiments in Xenopus oocytes and JX contributed to writing of the manuscript, BJN participated in design and coordination of electrophysiological studies and contributed to writing of the manuscript, and JES participated in design and coordination of C. elegans experiments and contributed to writing of the manuscript.
In a series of electrophysiological studies, Zoghbi's team further found that neurons from animals with depleted MECP2 levels have reduced electrical activity due to a smaller number of excitatory synapses, whereas cells from animals carrying an extra copy of the gene have increased electrical activity because of an increase in synapse number.
