The phrase "activated in our study" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a specific process, mechanism, or variable that was triggered or utilized during a research study.
Example: "The gene was activated in our study, leading to significant changes in the cellular response."
Alternatives: "engaged in our research" or "triggered in our analysis".
Areas in the dorsal rostral medulla, including all the areas activated in our study have been proposed to be particularly important.
Presumably the areas that sense leg movements during hopping or wing movements during whirring were specifically activated in our study.
Thus, the amygdala which is strongly activated by fear (Noesselt et al. 2005 [9], Morris et al. 2002 [10], Hadjikhani et al. 2008 [11]) and by aggression (Beaver et al., 2008 [12]) was not activated in our study.
A specific brain area activated in our study with particular relevance to visceral sensitivity is the hypothalamus which is known to be involved in emotional expression and the regulation of behavioral, neuroendocrine, and autonomic functions; however, this structure also contains visceral motor areas and plays an important role in modulating ascending nociceptive transmission.
Across studies investigating learning processes in diverse contexts, such effects were found in similar inferior frontal regions as those activated in our study, often in concert with parietal regions (Nyberg et al. 2003; Olesen et al. 2004).
As discussed above, this costimulation by HIV requires the presence of at least minimal levels of cognate antigen to induce full activation of CD4+ T cells, since only persistent-antigen specific CD4+ T cells were activated in our study.
We note with considerable interest that the parts of the right putamen and the medial insula activated in this study correspond closely to the parts activated in our earlier study of romantic love (Bartels & Zeki 2004 [2]).
To see if these genes were activated in our experiment, we studied the expression of the genes under similar experimental conditions as the cell invasion experiments using a semi-quantitative PCR.
To investigate effects in an a priori region of interest (right inferior frontal gyrus, activated in our previous self-recognition study [13]), a mask was derived based on regions activated in the Task-Rest contrast for TD children.
In addition, because MAP decreased after intravenous administration of JM-1232 at 0.3 mg/kg/min, benzodiazepine GABAA receptors could have been activated effectively in our study.
When gastric cancer cells were activated by BDNF in our study, TrkB in turn activated downstream signalling molecules, such as protein kinase B (Akt) and ERK, which are reported to promote cell proliferation and inhibit apoptosis through a number of downstream targets (Li et al, 2004; Simpson et al, 2007; Kawamura et al, 2010).
