Sentences with phrase «neural activity involved»

Therefore, we considered that the Acks signals detected at each sampling time mainly reflect neural activity involved in the following phases of the bee ball formation; 0 min: normal phase before presentation of the hornet; 30 min: early phase of bee ball formation, such as the recognition of the hornet and / or formation of the bee ball; 60 min: late phase of the bee ball formation, such as the maintenance of the bee ball.

When the rats reached adolescence, the researchers measured their neural activity involved in energy balance and appetite regulation.

A miniature microscope (right) about the size of a quarter let researchers peek inside mice's heads and glimpse neural activity involved in social behavior.

Electroencephalography (EEG), which measures electrical activity through the scalp, was previously considered too insensitive to relay the neural activity involved in complex movements of the hands.

Overall, fMRI studies show that neural activity in women with PPD compared to people with major depression who had not given birth involves distinct patterns for new mothers with PPD.

Psilocybin, a hallucinogenic compound found in magic mushrooms, may help re-set the activity of neural circuits in the brain that are involved in depression

A study by researchers from McGill University in Canada involving neuroimaging, which creates pictures of the brain's structure and neural activity, showed that smelling the body odor of someone closely related activates the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex, a part of the brain responsible for recognizing family.

Tognoli and Kelso's research involves tracking neural activity from different areas of the human brain every one thousandth of a second.

Although the neural networks that seem to be affected in Tourette's and OCD are distinct, they nonetheless involve brain regions with similar functions — in particular, motor activity and decision making.

There are two possible explanations for this result: 1) The neural activity detected in the brains of workers involved in the formation of a hot defensive bee ball reflects thermal stimuli processing in the brain.

In addition, workers exposed to 46 °C heat also exhibited Acks expression patterns similar to those observed in the brains of workers involved in the formation of a hot defensive bee ball, suggesting that the neural activity observed in the brains of workers involved in the hot defensive bee ball mainly reflects thermal stimuli processing.

Using Acks as a neural activity marker, we demonstrated that neural activity in the mushroom bodies, especially in Class II Kenyon cells, one subtype of mushroom body intrinsic neurons, and a restricted area between the dorsal lobes and the optic lobes was increased in the brains of Japanese honeybee workers involved in the formation of a hot defensive bee ball.

These results strongly suggest that the neural activity detected in the brains of workers involved in the formation of the hot defensive bee ball is induced by heat but not by IAA generated during the formation of the bee ball.

We need to study brain activity at neural resolution in animals to understand the cell - types and microcircuitry involved.

Recent estimates suggest that as many as 1.9 million children younger than 18 years have a sport - or recreation - related concussion each year in the United States.1 This injury is biomechanically induced, with symptoms resulting from neuronal dysfunction due to functional and neurometabolic alterations rather than gross structural abnormalities.2 Compared with boys involved in similar activities, girls experience higher rates of sport - related concussion,3 - 7 report more severe symptoms,8 - 11 demonstrate worse cognitive impairment,8 - 10, 12 and take longer to recover.11 The neural mechanisms behind these postconcussion sex differences are poorly understood but have been attributed to differences in neuroanatomy and physiology, 13 cerebral blood flow, 14 and the female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone.15 - 17

In the 2007 - 2008 academic year, for instance, awards supported research on topics such as the imaging of brain regions involved in the learning of words, the relation between memory and the growth of brain cells in adulthood, the neural activity behind birdsongs and the processing of sensory data in the brains of infants at risk for autism.

This is further compounded by elevations in metabolic efficiency (whereby energy expenditure declines beyond that predicted from the change in metabolic mass) and appetite which accompany weight - loss, and may ultimately predispose to weight re - gain.82 Moreover, changes in neural activity within brain regions known to be involved in regulatory, emotional and cognitive control of food intake have also been observed following weight - loss.83

The study also revealed that an area of the brain called the default mode network, which is involved in activities like daydreaming and thinking about the past and the future, shows greater neural connectivity in meditators than nonmeditators.

However, as a relationship deepens, the neural activity alters slightly, and in some cases primes those areas involved in long - term attachment.

Neural activity within brain regions innervated by serotonergic neural pathways, such as the human amygdala, may serve as another likely information processing mechanism involved in the storage and transmission of cultural values of individualism and collectNeural activity within brain regions innervated by serotonergic neural pathways, such as the human amygdala, may serve as another likely information processing mechanism involved in the storage and transmission of cultural values of individualism and collectneural pathways, such as the human amygdala, may serve as another likely information processing mechanism involved in the storage and transmission of cultural values of individualism and collectivism.

First, they point to reduced vicarious activity in regions involved in performing actions, feeling touch and experiencing emotions, that are considered functional markers of empathy, as a possible neural basis for the reduced empathy and antisocial behaviour, central to psychopathy (Hare et al., 2001; Hare, 2003; Blair et al., 2006; Hare and Neumann, 2009).
