Sentence examples for nerve activity when from inspiring English sources

The snakes don't seem to be responding to vibrations that these sounds cause in the ground, since these vibrations were too weak to cause nerve activity when they weren't accompanied by sound in the air, Christensen and his colleagues found.

Vagal afferents exist in the periphery of the lung that initiate a marked increase in efferent phrenic nerve activity when the endings of these afferents are stimulated with simple injections of hypertonic saline [ 13].

The different effects on the nerve activity observed when the lowest concentration (0.003%) was applied extra- and intravesically are likely to reflect the barrier function of the urothelium, which prevents luminal agents from crossing through the bladder wall.

These authors reported parasympathetic hypoactivity in medication-free patients with schizophrenia [ 13, 34, 35] and that parasympathetic nerve activity is significantly decreased when the psychotic state is more pronounced [ 15- 17, 36].

This might be important when recording nerve activity from a mixed nerve innervating multiple end-organs to increase the modality selectivity for the nerve fibers of interest.

Other species have sensors known as oscillatory receptors; these send a continuous wave of nerve activity to the brain even when no electric field is detected.

Following endovascular denervation, blood pressure fell significantly, and, when measured, muscle sympathetic nerve activity had returned to normal post denervation [ 14– 16].

Tourniquet ischemia for 20 min prevents paw plantar flexion following stimulation of the tibial nerve [ 31], and causes changes in sympathetic or parasympathetic activity, when applied for longer periods [ 30].

When they injected normal mice with leptin, the nerve activity in response to sweets was dampened by about 35%.

In contrast, Baker et al. found that when oscillatory receptors detect a new electric field, they reset their pattern of nerve activity, causing multiple receptors to briefly synchronize their activity.
