The phrase "activate brain" is not technically correct English, but it is commonly used as slang.
You might use it in informal contexts, or to express an idea in creative or humorous way. For example: "It's time to activate brain and figure out this puzzle!".
We tested the hypothesis that slightly subphysiological plasma glucose concentrations of 65 mg/dL (3.6 mmol/L), which do not cause symptoms but do activate glucose counterregulatory systems, also activate brain synaptic activities.
Because slightly subphysiological plasma glucose concentrations of 65 mg/dL also stimulate epinephrine secretion but do not cause symptoms (4), we tested the hypothesis that such slightly subphysiological plasma glucose concentrations also activate brain synaptic activities in humans.
The first, called transcranial magnetic stimulation (or TMS), uses the physics of electromagnetism to activate brain cells.
She explains: "In general, love recruits neurotransmitters (eg, dopamine) and neural basis that activate brain areas involved in these complex functions: emotion, reward, goal-directed behavior, decision-making.
The Emotional Faces Memory Task (EFMT) in which patients are asked to identify and remember the emotions displayed in a series of faces, has been designed to activate brain regions involved in emotion processing and cognitive control simultaneously.
Though researchers have long understood that olfaction involves receptors, which detect odors and in turn activate brain neurons, Liberles, together with Nobel laureate Linda Buck, recently discovered a second family of receptors, dubbed trace amine-associated receptors, or TAARs.
Jelcic, I. et al. Memory B cells activate brain-homing, autoreactive CD4+ T cells in multiple sclerosis.
Pictures of mouthwatering foods can activate brain-reward pathways and stimulate the urge to eat — a response that is often countered by simultaneous suppression signals from "executive control" centers elsewhere in the brain.
By using rCDR we exclude cytotoxic T cell involvement, since the cOTSC was not exposed to related peptides which could activate brain-naive resident T cells [ 42].
The brain scan results confirmed the exercise study results: Carbohydrates activated brain areas involved with rewards and muscle activity.
Imagining activates brain regions that can unconsciously map your path to success.
