The phrase "alter action" is not a standard expression in written English and may cause confusion.
It could be used in contexts where you want to indicate a change in behavior or response, but it is not commonly recognized.
Example: "We need to alter action based on the new data we received."
Alternatives: "change behavior" or "modify response."
We examine the patterns seen during the display of sexually dimorphic behaviors to ask how circuit modulation by the amine octopamine (OA, the invertebrate structural analogue of norepinephrine) might alter action selection by male flies responding to varying contextual stimuli.
Importantly, spot confocal imaging does not alter action potential propagation past the imaging site to a distal extracellular recording site within an NMJ and spot excitation at 643 nm has no effect on baseline neurotransmission (Ford and Davis, 2014).
Potentially this transient increase in temperature sensitivity may have important functional consequences, especially since a change in the Kv channel activity at slightly depolarized membrane potentials would substantially alter action potential frequency and neuronal coding.
Our current results can neither exclude a retrospective binding component in "action + tone" trials when the action – outcome delay is fixed, nor, indeed, in "action only" trials, as the omission of an expected outcome in these trials may well constitute a sensory event (Sutton, Tueting, Zubin, & John, 1967) and thus alter action awareness retrospectively.
Examples of populations with high susceptibility towards participation in aggregate behaviors designed to alter actions by the state might include African-Americans in parts of the American South during the late 1950s or working class Catholics in Belfast in 1969.
50 Behavioral science indicates that pain behaviors are subject to the same changes and influences which alter actions, as are other types of behaviors.
Of note, some of the data collection and analysis processes were interactive and continuous in a spiral form that enabled us to reflect on the previous analytical results and alter actions in the next phase of data collection.
Despite the different effects on channel function, each mutation altered action potential generation in a manner that was consistent with hyperexcitability.
We next investigated whether the altered action potential waveform results in changes in the concentration of intracellular Ca2+ ions.
Down syndrome model neurons display altered action potential shape, are less excitable and have decreased potassium currents.
In spite of the variety of Mg++-sensitive targets that could be relevant to effects on survival, our results suggest that altered action potential initiation and sodium channel gating are likely key to explaining survival effects.
