Some of the rapidly occurring changes in sensitivity described as alpha adaptation are doubtless purely neural in origin.
We examined whether improvements in sensory processing, defined as changes in sensitivity, could be elicited in a simple luminance discrimination task without eliciting concomitant changes in decision processing.
To account for changes in sensitivity, β-cell secretory function in vivo should be assessed by taking into account β-cell compensation for insulin resistance, which follows the hyperbola described above.
Takeuchi, T., Newton, L., Burkhardt, A., Mason, S. & Farré, E. M. Light and the circadian clock mediate time-specific changes in sensitivity to UV-B stress under light/dark cycles.
The changes in sensitivity of a cellulose triacetate (CTA) film dosimeter is reported as a function of linear energy transfer (LET).
When we focus on one particular decision threshold, the changes in sensitivity and specificity are central.
The final H2O2 production values were obtained after correction for both background fluorescence and changes in sensitivity over time.
Conversely, with the Southampton quantification method, although specificity remained similar across reconstructions and calibration strategies (82.4 88.2%), there were areas with significant changes in sensitivity.
These changes in sensitivity of the postsynaptic β-adrenergic receptor are related to diurnal changes in the release of noradrenaline from sympathetic nerves innervating the pineal.
