Sentence examples for nerve cell stimulation from inspiring English sources

For instance, the recent artificial construction of a light-activated channel [3], and the cloning and expression of the rhodopsin channel in mice [4] stand to advance the field of neuroscience by providing local, non-invasive control over nerve cell stimulation.

Long-term potentiation (LTP) A long-lasting strengthening of the response of a postsynaptic nerve cell to stimulation across the synapse that occurs with repeated stimulation and is thought to be related to learning and long-term memory [29].

The rapidly changing milieu alters nerve cell properties--for example, increasing its sensitivity to stimulation.

Herein, we report on the effects of stimulation of autophagy on tau inclusions and nerve cell survival in a mouse line transgenic for human mutant P301S tau.

Altogether, our results indicate that the in vivo stimulation of autophagy reduced the amount of tau aggregates and improved nerve cell survival.

Fork, R. L. Laser stimulation of nerve cells in Aplysia.

Retinal implant devices provide electric stimulation to nerve cells in the retina that transmit the signals via the optic nerve to the visual cortex in the brain.
