During activation, subjects performed, with the right hand, a 1-Hz-paced task that alternated two fist closings with a sequential opposition task.
The individual characteristic θ i, usually called "ability", may be conceived as the individual activation: subjects with higher score in this subscale (Personal Location) will have a higher level of activation.
Overall, the data suggest that UFP exposure induces activation (healthy subjects) or sequestration (subjects with asthma) of T-lymphocytes.
He joined the lab of Erwin Gelfand at the National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine (now National Jewish Health) to do research on T-cell activation, the subject of his Ph.D. research.
To prevent tissue damage by over-activation, complement activation is subject to tight regulation by many physiological negative regulators.
In other words, we observed lower amygdala activation when subjects were actively engaged in the CPT compared to when they passively waited for the same thermal stimuli (Fig. 1B).
The basic approach is to collect sEMG data, which reflect the total muscle activation while subjects perform activities.
We did not observe any difference in STAT3 activation in subjects with subcutaneous versus omental hAT, obese versus lean subjects, and male versus female subjects (data not shown).
To visualize activation across subjects, the cortical surface representations of individual subjects were aligned using a spherical morphing technique (Fischl, Sereno, Tootell, et al. 1999) and inflated (Fischl, Sereno, Dale 1999).
Our aim was to compare muscle activation in subjects with a disease affecting the hands and in healthy subjects, as reflected in "real life".
