These assemblies are strongly connected sets of neurons, which therefore each behave in a functionally coherent manner, as a functional unit.
The Gβγ subunits act as a functional unit that controls numerous essential cell functions such as gene activation and repression [ 21].
The unit of modularization is an equation that maps to a "biological part," defined as "a functional unit of DNA that encodes for a specific biological function" (http://parts.igem.org/Help:Parts).
It has been proposed that IGFIIR, TGFβ1 and TGFβRII act as a functional unit in the TGFβ growth inhibitory pathway, and that somatic loss-of-function mutations in any one of these genes could lead to disruption of the pathway and subsequent loss of cell cycle control.
The watershed is considered as a functional unit that may impact seasonal precipitation.
This controlled reaction was eventually introduced as a functional unit operation in the purification process.
Because muscles and nerves (neurons) supplying muscle operate as a functional unit, disease of both systems results in muscular atrophy (wasting) and paralysis.
Collectively, our experiments show that the RING and C2HC ZnF domains with their linker regions act as a functional unit held together by interdomain contacts.
Much of the behavioral evidence to date suggests that RSC and POR/PHC work closely together as a functional unit.
The body includes nine major organ systems, each composed of various organs and tissues that work together as a functional unit.
The emergence of biologically inspired cognitive architectures (BICA) challenges researchers across many disciplines with a new frontier: computational replication of the human mind, taken in all its essential aspects, as a functional unit of a team or a society.
