Sentence examples for input from the brain from inspiring English sources
It also controls simple musculoskeletal reflexes without input from the brain.
In its basic, most primitive form, scratching is a reflex that is controlled by the spinal cord and requires no input from the brain.
The studies show that the eye itself, without input from the brain, can grow into a myopic shape when it is in some way deprived of clear images.
Columbia University Professor Michael Gershon calls the stomach a "second brain" because it can operate without any input from the brain or spinal cord.
Experiments performed in the 1960s showed that chromatophores respond to light, suggesting that they can be controlled without input from the brain, but nobody had followed this up until now.
This device is part of an experimental program, offered at only five American hospitals, to determine if, by repeating the normal motion of walking, some local circuits within the spinal cord can be induced to move limbs appropriately without input from the brain.
Increased excitability of motor neurons has been implicated in injury-induced spasticity, where the reappearance of self-sustained plateau potentials in the absence of modulatory inputs from the brain correlates with the development of spasticity.
Using a computer simulation, Garst-Orozco et al. show that the sensitivity of RA neurons to variable or 'noisy' input is reduced when inputs from the brain region that controls song are adaptively strengthened and eliminated.
A plethora of studies have shown that the isolated mammalian spinal cord can generate muscle activation patterns suited for locomotion in absence of inputs from the brain [ 1, 2].
Here, excitatory Glu inputs from cerebral cortex and thalamus predominantly terminate on efferent GABAergic cells, with the widely distributed DA and 5-HT modulatory synaptic inputs from the brain stem having the ability to modulate the efficacy of the Glu-to-GABA synapses, thereby determining to what extent efferent GABAergic information will be transmitted out of the basal ganglia [ 61].
However, while male contact with the female genitalia is sufficient to drive the female song circuit, inputs from the brain contribute to response timing, IPI, and the decision to mate (in our experiments, headless females did not perform the characteristic wing-spreading behavior indicative of female acceptance and never copulated with WT males [data not shown]).
