Sentence examples for specificity of connections from inspiring English sources

"Linda has made a wonderful set of contributions about the specificity of connections and the functional read-out both in the intermediate station and the cerebral cortex," says Eric Kandel, a university professor at Columbia and senior investigator at HHMI, whose research into the brain earned him a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2000.
The initiation and the growth of pathways proceed from the gene with the highest specificity of connections.
In other words, at this ultrastructural scale, the specificity of connections would not only rely on spatial cues but also on other mechanisms such as molecular or activity-dependent cues in order to assure synaptic specificity.
In the following, we first exploit the overall similarity of relative connectivity measures between the 2 maps in a lateral connectivity model and then address the different estimates of a subset of interlayer connections by means of the target specificity of connections.

The patterning and specificity of these connections are dependent on specific signals, including guidance cues and growth factors.
The specificity of reciprocal connections between neighboring SACs was assessed by comparison with Monte Carlo simulations using recorded connection probabilities.
We propose that different pyramidal cell phenotypes reflect a high degree of specificity of neuronal connections associated with different types of spatial modulation.
(D ) Monte Carlo simulations of paired SAC recordings to assess the specificity of reciprocal connections.
The functional specificity of these connections is therefore considerably broader than the physiological orientation tuning of the projecting neurons.
