Sentence examples for contiguous conditions from inspiring English sources

Spatial information was calculated for each individual cell in non-overlapping 2 cm spatial bins as described earlier (Skaggs et al., 1996) and the average values within-sessions/conditions were normalized for each genotype by the average values during FamRun1 (de novo and contiguous conditions) and FamRun2 (disjunct condition) to compare the across session changes in both genotypes.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.01326.006 We next investigated whether the experience acquired during the de novo condition had an effect on a related, but new experience, by evaluating whether the exploration of a novel arm in contiguity with the familiar one (contiguous condition) would re-enact the de novo-type responses only in the novel or in both arms.

(F ) Contiguous condition.

This session is referred to as pre-ContigRun session because it preceded a run session under the contiguous condition.

For the contiguous condition ContigRun session, only the place cells active on the novel arm were included.

For the ContigRun session of the contiguous condition only, we could separate the place fields active on the familiar arm from those active on the novel arm.

A similar grouping of the cell pairs active in the contiguous condition during FamRun1 and ContigRun revealed that the changes in cellular ensemble organization upon exploration of the contiguous novel arm are CA3 NMDARs-independent.

We calculated the proportion of cells with more than one place field per track to be about 12% on the novel arm in the contiguous condition in control mice (Dragoi and Tonegawa, Nature 2011).

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.01326.004 > > Under the contiguous condition, mice that completed the pre-ContigRun sleep/rest were returned to the linear track they had experienced repeatedly on the previous day.

In the contiguous condition, following a recording session on the now familiar linear track (FamRun1), a barrier that was blocking access to a contiguous novel linear track was lifted and the animals explored the L-shaped linear track for the first time (ContigRun).

The stability of place cell firing within the run session on novel tracks increased with experience in the de novo condition similarly in the CT and KO mice, appeared high from the beginning of the contiguous condition in both genotypes, and appeared high from beginning in the CT mice and increased with repeated experience in KO mice in the disjunct condition.
