Sentence examples for mediating behavioral responses from inspiring English sources

Gr63a and Gr21a and their orthologs are also responsible for mediating behavioral responses to carbon dioxide in mosquitoes, and inhibition of this receptor may prevent host seeking in mosquitoes (Turner and Ray, 2009; Turner et al., 2011).

It has been shown that neurabin and spinophilin play different roles in mediating behavioral responses to cocaine administration [20].

Studies in male hamsters have identified the BNST and several nuclei of the amygdala as important brain regions mediating behavioral responses to social defeat [63], [64], [65].

However, a systematic analysis of the roles of OBPs in mediating behavioral responses to odorants has not yet been performed.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.04878.008 If AF7-projecting RGCs are mediating behavioral responses to virtual prey, we reasoned that they should also respond to natural prey, such as paramecia.

Additional "secondary" regions of interest were produced in a similar manner for whole-brain regions (bilateral frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital cortex; thalamus; and cerebellum) and discrete regions previously implicated in mediating behavioral responses to inflammation (bilateral amygdala, hippocampus, caudate, putamen, ventral striatum (35), substantia nigra, and Brodmann area 25).

Under the assumption that 5-HT transmission may be part of the biological mechanisms mediating behavioral response to MPH, we have examined the association of the polymorphic 5-HTTLPR with behavioral response to MPH by using a double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study to test this association.

Nuclei within this circuit are known to mediate behavioral responses induced by social defeat [8], [21], [22], so we examined indirect markers of brain activity in these nuclei following social interaction testing.

Several studies have suggested that the BNST mediates behavioral responses to acute and chronic aversive stimuli [ 5, 14].

Alternatively, preservation of D1R mediated behavioral responses in Pdcl cKO mice may also indicate that signaling pathways other than cAMP initiated by D1 receptors (Nishi et al., 2011) play compensatory role.

Recent research has led to the hypothesis that the transition to alcohol dependence involves the dysregulation not only of neural circuits involved in reward but also of circuits that mediate behavioral responses to stressors.
