Phasic Firing in Vasopressin Cells: Understanding Its Functional Significance through Computational Models
Vasopressin neurons, responding to input generated by osmotic pressure, use an intrinsic mechanism to shift from slow irregular firing to a distinct phasic pattern, consisting of long bursts and silences lasting tens of seconds. With increased input, bursts lengthen, eventually shifting to continuous firing. The phasic activity remains asynchronous across the cells and is not reflected in the p...
متن کاملVasopressin regularizes the phasic firing pattern of rat hypothalamic magnocellular vasopressin neurons.
Vasopressin (AVP) magnocellular neurons of hypothalamic nuclei express specific phasic firing (successive periods of activity and silence), which conditions the mode of neurohypophyseal vasopression release. In situations favoring plasmatic secretion of AVP, the hormone is also released at the somatodendritic level, at which it is believed to modulate the activity of AVP neurons. We investigate...
متن کاملthe effect of functional/notional approach on the proficiency level of efl learners and its evaluation through functional test
in fact, this study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any difference between the effect of functional/notional approach and the structural approaches to language teaching on the proficiency test of efl learners? 2. can a rather innovative language test referred to as "functional test" ge devised so so to measure the proficiency test of efl learners, and thus be as much reliable an...
15 صفحه اولUnderstanding Hydrogen Adsorption in MIL-47-M (M = V and Fe) through Density Functional Theory
The present paper aims to investigate the role of open metal site metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) on hydrogen adsorptivity using periodic boundary condition (PBC) density functional theory (DFT). Hence, MIL-47-M (M = V and Fe) were selected and one hydrogen molecule adsorptivity was calculated in different orientations on them. Four different chemical sites were identified in every cluster sect...
متن کاملUnderstanding Through Animal Models
Animal models in biomedical research provide an interactive, dynamic system that can be observed and manipulated experimentally in order to promote our understanding of a human condition or disease by elucidating the biological mechanisms underlying normal function and disease. Animal models allow researchers to test hypotheses about the causes and cures of a disorder and to develop effective t...
