"Neuronal activation" refers to the process of nerve cells or neurons becoming active or firing electric impulses in the brain. It is when neurons send signals to each other, allowing the brain to process and transmit information.

In neuroanatomical studies, Blakely's team then quantified proteins whose levels change
with neuronal activation to identify specific brain regions that might support the serotonin - dependent actions of cocaine, and the result was that the role of serotonin in cocaine action is pronounced in specific brain areas, like areas of the frontal cortex associated with inhibitory control mechanisms, while less relevant in other areas.
Instead, our data indicate that leucine -
induced neuronal activation involves a plasma membrane Ca2 + channel, whereas leucine - induced neuronal inhibition is mediated by inhibition of a store - operated Ca2 + current.
We demonstrated that fNIRS is capable of
detecting neuronal activation with a reasonable degree of detail,» noted Glenn Wylie, DPhil, associate director of Neuroscience and the Neuroimaging Center at Kessler Foundation.
Coincidentally, a ketogenic diet reduces intracellular sodium concentration as well, mainly due to slightly increased acidity of the blood; it also decreases the level of excitatory neurotransmitters (which excites the next neuron), further
dampening neuronal activation.
Therefore, the only effective long - time therapy is to improve the function or
neuronal activation of the deep back muscles to enable them to stabilise the vertebrae in their harmonic balance, irrespective of the posture adopted or the complexity of the movement performed.
In this way, we can produce a brain - wide cell - resolution map of
the neuronal activation patterns related to specific behaviours.
What needs to be done is to release the muscle cramp by resetting
the neuronal activation of the muscle.
When we are lucky enough to have secure attachment experiences in which we feel seen, safe, soothed, and secure — the «four S's of attachment» that serve as the foundation for a healthy mind — these relational experiences stimulate
the neuronal activation and growth of the integrative fibers of the brain.
