Under baseline conditions, and in agreement with many reports [ 27, 30- 36, 70], spontaneous activity in the cortical networks used here occurs as periods of synchronous, network-wide bursting activity which lasts for several hundreds of milliseconds, separated by longer periods (1 to 10 seconds) of near-complete quiescence or sparse, asynchronous action potentials.
Where networks of dissociated cortical neurons in culture are concerned, synchrony takes the form of network-wide bursting activity which lasts for several hundreds of milliseconds, separated by longer periods (1 to 10 seconds) of near-complete quiescence or sparse, asynchronous action potentials [ 27- 37].
Although the book's pace is unhurried and its action sparse, Nicholson has created an entrancing piece of fiction.
Despite new recommendations for discontinuing dosing at 3 mo chronologic age, information supporting such actions is sparse.
While the data of Koehler et al. are a welcome addition to the sparse information on potential actions of GLP-1 on the exocrine pancreas, the study was limited in three ways: (1) a relatively small number of animals was studied in each experiment (n ∼ 5); (2) GLP-1 mimetic therapy was of short duration; and (3) pancreatic histology was not reported.
However, evidences regarding efficacy of these therapies are still sparse and their mechanism of action is often unclear [ 7].
Action is scarce, dialogue sparse.
During locomotion, granule cell action potentials occurred in sparse high-frequency bursts with high instantaneous firing frequencies.
From racial profiling to mass incarceration to affirmative action, his comments have been sparse and halting.
Perhaps the only truly great parts are the action sequences when dialogue is sparse and explosions are plentiful, but that's still a winning formula.
