The phrase "altering action" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing changes or modifications to a specific action or behavior.
Example: "The team is focused on altering action to improve overall performance in the project."
Alternatives: "modifying behavior" or "changing actions".
However limited the use of this initiative might prove to be, its availability could help to pressure an ineffective, unpopular president into abandoning policies or altering actions that had turned the country against him.
Despite the different effects on channel function, each mutation altered action potential generation in a manner that was consistent with hyperexcitability.
Since depolarization of MCs is the most likely mechanism by which cholinergic projections modulate lateral inhibition between pyramidal cells, we tested whether cholinergic projections alter action potential firing of MCs in response to activation of presynaptic pyramidal cells.
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.
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.
No amount of hand-wringing in the UN climate talks will alter action on the ground unless the drivers of global deforestation are also tackled.
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.
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.
Nevertheless, acute atrial arrhythmogenesis may be related not only to cellular Ca2+ homeostasis but also to altered action potential (AP) conduction and recovery (Zhang et al. 2011, King et al. 2013c).
