It builds on the reported findings that, in saline-treated rats, an excitotoxic lesion of the nucleus accumbens core (NAc) increases the vigor of checking and reduces the rest period after a bout of checking, without inducing compulsive checking behavior (Dvorkin et al., 2010).
Nurseries are now emphasizing the plants' needs, teaching gardeners proper techniques for their care and developing hybrids that increase the plants' vigor and range of color and form.
Expecting that hybrid vigor (heterosis) would increase the vitality, we outcrossed two see-through strains (SK and STIII) with a genetically distant wild-type strain (HNI).
These findings are consistent with the variation-selection hypothesis of striatal functional organization [50] that enhanced dopaminergic transmission in the medial ventral striatum, including the medial olfactory tubercle, elicits arousal that increases the vigor and variation of approach-type behavior in response to salient stimuli.
She laid a calming hand on him that only increased the speed and vigor of the wags.
One of the hallmarks of regular aerobic exercise is that in muscles, it increases the number and vigor of the mitochondria, the cellular structures that help to generate energy while consuming oxygen.
Subject to this exchange of information, they update their own responses accordingly, be it to increase or decrease the vigor of their response [ 19]. (13) Intracellular signal propagation is mediated by large multiprotein signaling complexes.
In such cases, a heterotic pool containing the resulting genotypes has the potential to increase hybrid vigor.
Keeping an eye open for tech developments that help the elderly, I saw that the University of California at San Francisco reported on a study that shows the aging brain can increase in vigor and cognitive ability given the right mental exercise, and that video games can be a powerful help.
