Cells responded uniformly to brief 1 3 s pulses of ionomycin, showing a sudden increase in fluorescent intensity during and shortly after the duration of the pulse, and a gradual recovery after the stimulus was withdrawn.
This initial acceleration phase is followed by a gradual slowing with increasing stimulus number.
I/O curves generated by a gradual increase of the stimulus intensity (50 1000 µA) showed significant increases in LFP in the sensitized rat, suggesting enhancement of basal synaptic transmission in the thalamo-ACC synapses after induction of visceral hypersensitivity; this is mediated by both NMDA and AMPA receptor activity.
As imaginative or in vivo exposure therapy, VRET consists in a gradual presentation of phobic stimuli.
He said: "The challenge will be, as the recovery progresses, to gradually transition at an appropriate pace from a situation of emergency stimulus to a gradual withdrawal of that.
Repeated measures ANOVA showed the main effect of stimulus size: a gradual increase in RTs with increase in set size for both groups F 2,14) = 5.6, p < 0.05 (Fig. 2).
