Sentence examples for modification of cortical from inspiring English sources

The precise mechanism of action of metoprolol in migraine prophylaxis is not known, but modification of cortical excitability by inhibiting central β-receptors most likely contributes to its preventative effects [36 38].

Findings of previous studies and the present data suggest that migraine prophylaxis with different centrally acting substances may be more complex and cannot only be explained by modification of cortical excitability.

Long-term modification of cortical responsiveness such as long-term potentiation (LTP) or depression (LTD) has been proposed as a necessary correlate of learning.

Even from the early studies, it was evident as tDCS was able to produce a polarity-dependent modification of cortical excitability [ 14, 15].

Neural adaptation leads to a more robust recruitment of motor neuron pools, transfer of function from damaged areas to preserved adjacent or correlated areas, strengthening of redundant or parallel synapses, new synapse formation, increased dendritic sprouting, enhanced myelination of remaining neurons, and modification of cortical and noncortical representations.

Modifications of cortical lamination and gene expression patterns were detected at post-natal Day 8 suggesting prolonged consequences of these alterations during embryonic development.

Results confirmed that the modifications of hand cortical representation described using the map-volume (see above) were reflected also by the spatial extension of the FDI cortical deactivation maps (Fig.  2 c, SPM{ t}, P < 0.05 uncorrected).

The objective of the present study was to explore the behavior of the subjective pain sensation during repetitive painful stimulation by CHEPs in relation to the amplitude modifications of the cortical evoked potentials.

Lf reduced HI-induced modifications of the cortical metabolism and altered white matter microstructure was recovered in Lf-supplemented rats at P25. Lf supplementation significantly decreased brain TNF- α and IL-6 gene transcription, increased phosphorylated AKT levels and reduced activation of caspase-3 at 24 h post-injury.

Multiple imaging studies demonstrated the reorganisation of the sensory-motor cortex, causing the posterior shift of the maximum activity and modification of the level of cortical activity during imagined or attempted movements (Green et al., 1999, Tran et al., 2004, Kokotilo et al., 2009, Jurkiewicz et al., 2010, Vuckovic et al., 2014).

Ethanol exposure in utero may produce alterations in GABAA receptors that could explain the rapid modification in glutamate release and the synthesis and/or secretion of cortical BDNF.
