Sentence examples for modulation of firing from inspiring English sources

see McCormick, D.A. and Prince, D.A. Noradrenergic modulation of firing pattern in guinea pig and cat thalamic neurons, in vitro.

As a result, PEV allowed for the quantification of information associated with the modulation of firing rates (variance) of individual neurons depending on the stimulus condition.

A significant reduction in the context-specific modulation of firing rate was observed in the CA3 pyramidal cells when the mutant mice were transferred from one context to another.

In the research group of Danko Nikolić it has been shown that some of the changes in the subjectively perceived brightness correlated with the modulation of firing rates while others correlated with the modulation of neural synchrony.

The response of the recorded neurons to movement, as depicted by limb acceleration, was characterized by a modulation of firing in a sinusoidal-like pattern, similar to the applied passive movement (Fig. 3B).

Previous authors have suggested dynamic encoding mechanisms for prior information, whereby top-down modulation of firing patterns on a trial-by-trial basis creates short-term representations of priors.

To determine whether the observed synchronization (Z score of 3 or higher) reflected spike to spike precise synchronization or rather co-modulation of firing rates [22], [23], simulated spike trains were generated by randomly shuffling the ISIs within blocks of 5 consecutive ISIs and the correlation analysis repeated for the shuffled spike trains.

Odor stimulation causes stimulus- and mitral cell-dependent temporal modulations of firing frequency that can comprise successive excitatory and inhibitory epochs [2], [4], [25] [28].

(E, F ) Same as C and D, but for modified ∆rate and modified ∆COM after removing the modulations of firing rate and COM by speed and head direction.

Because neurons in the substantia nigra pars reticulata exhibit only subtle or no modulations of firing in time with cortical slow oscillations (Magill et al. 2004), their output is likely not responsible for the exquisite phase-locking of BZ neurons.

It is important that the authors either 1) re-write the manuscript to avoid over-selling the presented mechanism as being related to cerebellum-dependent motor learning (which most readers would assume means long-term learning), or 2) provide a model/explanation how trial-over-trial learning can indeed mediate more than a short-term modulation of spike firing.
