Sentences with phrase «level electrical activity»

But once the animals had learned the best route, the firing pattern was starkly different: high - level electrical activity appeared as the animals entered the maze, and when they ate their reward, but in between — while following the now - learned route in a more automatic fashion — neuronal activity was much lower.

Not exact matches

Dr. Laurie Helgoe cites several studies in which researchers compared the two and found that introverts generally have higher levels of electrical activity in the cerebral cortex, which may explain why they limit external stimulation so as to maintain an appropriate level of arousal.

Conscious awareness, memory, and learning depend on a minimal level of electrical activity in the cerebral cortex.

We drew blood samples to measure hormone levels and detected shivering by special devices placed on the skin that sense muscle electrical activity.»

These types of activities lead to much smaller electrical signals, and are at the level of typical brain activity.

These results show that the formation of new synapses is driven by the tendency of neurons to maintain a «pre-set» electrical activity level.

They found that tissue with high levels of epileptic electrical activity was low in lactate and had higher levels of creatine, phosphocreatine and choline, suggestive of abnormal metabolism.

In this painless treatment, low - level current is passed through two electrodes placed over the head to tweak the electrical activity in specific areas of the brain.

That's because people at any level of activity and influence tend to follow others who are more active and influential than themselves, according to Prof. Michael Rabbat, who teaches in McGill's Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering and is the senior author on the paper.

By simulating electrical brain activity and relating the behavior of single neurons to brain waves, the researchers aim to bridge this gap, opening the way to better tools for diagnosing mental disorders, and on a deeper level, offering a better understanding of ourselves.

Using these direct electrical recordings, the team was able to test the level of high frequency neuronal activity (a marker of neurons firing) in this region, a very precise measure which captures activity tied to cognition processes lasting mere hundreds of milliseconds.

In addition, he uses sophisticated electrical - recording techniques to probe brain activity at a cellular level.

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.

The kidneys are a regulatory organ, they help to control the levels of electrolytes, and when salt is dissolved its elements sodium and chloride become important electrolytes, responsible for transferring the electrical activity within your body.

Typically, our anaesthetized patients are monitored with the following: Capnograph (measures expired carbon dioxide and breaths), Apnea alarm (alarms if breathing stops), Pulse Oximetry (measures Oxygen levels in the blood), Scrolling EKG (measures electrical activity of the heart), Blood Pressures (using a Oscillometric Cardell Blood Pressure unit), Thermometer (keeping the patient warm is critical to success) and of course a dedicated technician monitoring other parameters (like depth of anesthesia, pulse pressures, etc) continuously throughout.

Assumptions about the relevant spatial and temporal relations are used to estimate levels of electrical activity in small regions of the brain corresponding to pixels in the finished image.
