Sentence examples for speed of conduction from inspiring English sources

The speed of conduction of impulses along sensory and motor fibres can be measured with nerve conduction studies (NCS).

Reflexes become slightly more sluggish and the speed of conduction of impulses in nerves is slightly slowed.

Indeed, if the speed of conduction and the minimization of conduction delays was the only concern regarding a given axons myelo-architectural design, then the g-ratio should be <0.25, since conduction speed continues to increase monotonically with increasing myelination [9].

Impaired myelination reduces the speed of conduction of action potentials in individual neurons and could account for slow reaction times.

Nevertheless, by 16 weeks, the speed of conduction in mutants had caught up with and was indistinguishable from controls.

Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is defined as the speed of conduction of a pressure wave generated by cardiac systole through the arterial tree.

In response to two electrical pulses (inter pulse interval 50 to 70 ms) delivered at the sciatic nerve electrode, most of the sympathetic efferent fibers exhibited a speeding of conduction; the second action potential was conducted at a faster conduction velocity than the first action potential.

Previous investigators have suggested that a relative speeding of conduction to twin pulse stimulation develops in C-fiber nociceptors in the presence of activity-dependent slowing [9].

Our finding that only sympathetic efferents show absolute speeding of conduction to a twin pulse (ISI  = 50 ms) provides such a criterion.

In centripetal recordings we used the 60 twin pulses protocol to investigate the relationship of activity-dependent slowing and relative speeding of conduction.

Similarly, in centripetal recordings, absolute speeding of conduction to a single twin pulse was observed in nerve fibers that were unresponsive to mechanical, thermal or chemical stimuli.
