Sentences with phrase «from electrophysiological studies»

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.

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.
