Sentence examples for rate of impulse from inspiring English sources

The strength of muscular contraction is a function of the rate of impulse delivery rather than of the number of fibres contracting (as is the case in vertebrates).

Stimulation of the vagus nerve depresses the rate of impulse formation and atrial contractility and thereby reduces cardiac output and slows the rate of the heart.

The asymptotic rate of impulse response precursor approaching zero is O(1/t).

This might be the basis for the high rate of impulse control disorders in Parkinson's patients receiving dopaminergic agonists.

Both a reduction in threshold or in the number of neurons requiring electrophysiological activation entail a reduction in the aggregate rate of impulse flow required to produce a given level of reward intensity.

The condition is treated by increasing the rate of impulses that regulate ventricular contractions; this can be done by administering drugs or by implanting an artificial pacemaker, a device that regulates heart action by means of minute electric shocks.

With sounds of lower frequency, the rate of impulses fired by the neuron reflects the stimulus frequency, and the response often reveals phase-locking with the stimulus; that is, the nerve fibres are stimulated at regularly recurring intervals, corresponding to a particular position or phase, of each sound wave.

Throughout the experiment, the rate of impulses per second was visualized and recorded for a control period of at least 20 min before application of substances.

Otherwise, i.e. in the case of a low mean arrival rate of impulses, the modified cumulant-neglect closure scheme provides better results.

Verification of the obtained approximate analytical results against Monte Carlo simulations shows that the ordinary cumulant-neglect closure technique is appropriate in the case of non-linear systems subject to Poisson-distributed impulses and general pulses if the mean arrival rate of impulses is not very low, i.e. if the departure of the excitation from the Gaussian process is not very large.

It is found that if the departure of the Poisson-driven excitation process from Gaussianity ranges from small to moderately large, i.e., the expected arrival rate of impulses is not very low, the application of the fourth order cumulant-neglect closure technique, i.e., neglecting the cumulants above the fourth order, yields very good estimates of the response mean values and variances.
