Sentences with phrase «similar neural activity»

According to a «smell map» created by researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, almonds smell like roses — and the two scents elicit similar neural activity.

A team led by Aaron Schurger of Princeton University reasoned that repeatedly presenting the brain with the same sensory input should evoke similar neural activity each time — if the input is processed consciously.

Although Dulac's and Anderson's teams examined different brain regions, both researchers observed a similar relationship between sex - specific neural activity and social behavior.

Compared with stimulation from traditional cochlear implant electrodes, the light produced more precise neural activity in the brain stem, similar to normal hearing.

It is also the first to demonstrate that a deep convolutional neural network — a computing system modelled after the neuron activity in animal brains that can basically learn on its own — can effectively differentiate between similar plants with an amazing accuracy of nearly 100 %.

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.

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.

The findings may even have implications for studying glioblastoma, a common brain cancer whose ability to grow, migrate and hack into the brain's blood supply appears to rely on a pattern of gene activity similar to that now identified in these neural stem cells.

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

We describe ways in which the DMN in 7 -12-year-old children is both similar to and different from the DMN in adults; moreover, we document that task - induced deactivations and default - mode resting - state activity in children share common neural substrates.

Having similar size and shape as adenosine, caffeine has the ability to bind with these receptors without reducing the neural activity.

Neural experiments on these mindsets at the Clinical Psychophysiology Lab at Michigan State University found that after committing an error, growth mindset participants exhibited enhanced brain activity and were less likely than the fixed mindset participants to make a similar mistake.
