The phrase "adaptation of firing" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to changes or modifications in firing mechanisms, processes, or techniques, often in fields like engineering, military, or psychology.
Example: "The adaptation of firing techniques in response to new technology has improved accuracy and efficiency."
Alternatives: "modification of firing" or "adjustment of firing".
At the neuronal level, contrast adaptation corresponds to the slow adjustment of firing rates that is observed during the lengthy presentation of a stimulus of constant contrast.
Since SNc dopaminergic neurons display adaptation or facilitation of firing frequency during sustained current pulses (Vandecasteele et al., 2011), we determined the average gain value (Hz/100 pA) both for the first three and the last three APs generated during the pulse (see Figure 7).
· Evolution and adaptation of fire and rescue services during periods of expansion and austerity.
In simulation 1 we assessed the effect of firing frequency adaptation on responses, modeled as a decay term, a linear decay as a function of the recent activity of the cell.
In the simplest version of the model, which we have explored in a series of studies (Kropff and Treves, 2008; Si et al., 2012; Stella et al., 2013), the periodicity of the grid pattern is a result of firing rate adaptation during exploration sessions that span a considerable developmental time.
Striatal interneurons identified by these markers are capable of firing at high rates with little adaptation and have been named fast spiking cells (Kawaguchi 1993).
GFP-labeled interneurons mostly show delayed onset of firing around threshold, and regular firing with moderate frequency adaptation at more depolarized potentials.
In contrast to FS interneurons, non-FS interneurons showed marked adaptation of AP firing upon current injection (Table 4).
To reduce the effects of synaptic depression and so ensure efficiency in repeatedly stimulated synapses, neuromodulatory systems, in particular, cholinergic, play a key role in reducing the probability of transmitter release in the pre-synaptic neurons (e.g., Hasselmo and Bower, 1992; Hasselmo, 1995 for review) and so reducing the adaptation of the firing rate.
