Sentence examples for cycle of excitability from inspiring English sources

The recovery cycle of excitability was assessed utilizing a paired pulse protocol, with a supramaximal stimulus followed by a test stimulus at intervals varying between 2.5 and 200 ms. Initially following conduction of an impulse, it becomes more difficult to generate a subsequent impulse due to the recovery of inactivation of transient Na+ channels [26], [27].

Recovery cycle of excitability.

The strength duration properties, threshold electrotonus, current threshold relationship and recovery cycle of excitability graphs were almost identical.

The hypothesis that ongoing alpha oscillations define periodic cycles of excitability has been proposed already a long time ago (e.g. [10]).

This leads to the assumption that brain oscillations reflect fast cycles of cortical excitability changes and highlights the importance of spontaneous cortical oscillatory activity for stimulus perception and signal transmission.

Whereas Touboul and Brette (2008) focuses on types of excitability, stationary limit cycles and their relation to the underlying bifurcations, we studied the transient response to step currents since this is the prevalent experimental paradigm for classifying firing patterns.

We found evidence for daily and seasonal regulation of candidate genes for specific ion channel subtypes as well as steroidogenic enzymes and receptors belonging to major hormone signaling pathways previously implicated in regulating seasonal and daily cycles of vocal motor excitability and behavior in midshipman.

Finally, in line with its rhythmical nature, the level of excitability differs in the different phases of the alpha cycle.

Moreover, the combination of tDCS and physical therapy resources will provide the training of a specific task with multiple repetitions of the phases of the gait cycle, promoting rich sensory (proprioceptive and visual) stimuli with a modified threshold of excitability of the primary motor cortex (enhanced local synaptic efficacy), thereby potentiating motor learning.

A tentative explanation for this phenomenon is that the visual system is inhibited during most of the alpha cycle whereas a burst of gamma activity at a specific alpha phase (e.g. at troughs) reflects a window of excitability.

This was a very particular kind of excitability - a thrillability I want to call it - that I associate almost exclusively with people of his pre-war generation.
