However, if most cells in the brain activate the X chromosome with the functional MECP2 allele, the individual will have very mild Rett syndrome ; likewise, if most neurons activate the X chromosome with the mutated MECP2 allele, the individual will have very severe Rett syndrome just as males with MECP2 mutations do ( as they only have one X chromosome ).

Another potential health problem is spinal muscular atrophy ( SMA ), another genetically inherited disease which causes the loss of the spinal-cord neurons which activate the skeletal muscles of the trunk and limbs.

The weight between two neurons increases if the two neurons activate simultaneously — and reduces if they activate separately.

Henry Markram used dual patch clamping techniques to repetitively activate pre-synaptic neurons 10 milliseconds before and after the post-synaptic target neurons, and found the strength of the synapse increased.

They activate cells in the arcuate nucleus that include the orexigenic neuropeptide Y ( NPY ) neurons.

He also assessed that cell death was restricted to postsynaptic neurons, that glutamate agonists were as neurotoxic as their efficiency to activate glutamate receptors, and that glutamate antagonists could stop the neurotoxicity.

NT-3 is unique among the neurotrophins in the number of neurons it has potential to stimulate, given its ability to activate two of the receptor tyrosine kinase neurotrophin receptors ( TrkC and TrkB ).

Echoes coming from different directions activate neurons at different locations in the collicular layers, and activation of collicular neurons influences the chirps that the bats emit.

Additionally, it appears that hypocretin / orexin neurons of the hypothalamus activate both the adrenergic and cholinergic components of the RAS and may coordinate activity of the entire system.

These neurons activate descending pathways that synapse in the spinal cord and inhibit nociceptive cells in the dorsal horn.

Frequencies this low still activate the organ of Corti to some extent, but are too low to elicit the perception of a pitch.

Specific techniques ( essentially " magnetic passes ") were used to activate the " ganglionic system " ( centered at the solar plexus, and corresponding to the automous nervous system ) presented as the organ of the unconscious soul.

Rocker switches on the organ activate the reverb in the amplifiers ( a TelRay ( Adineko ) reverb / echo unit ( oilcan ) built into the speaker cabinet ).

TTL logic circuitry determines the highest fret segment making contact on each string, and prevents simultaneous organ notes on the same string to activate ; only the highest organ note played on a particular string will sound.

* Salamanders perform a nose tapping behavior to supposedly activate their VNO.

Cytokines are substances that can activate cytotoxic T lymphocytes ( CTL ), antibody-secreting B cells, macrophages, and other particles.

Old One gives Pham the information necessary to activate the Blight Countermeasure while dying ( a process known as godshatter ), and Pham and Ravna escape Relay's destruction in the Out of Band II.

After the four phones AT & T Wireless had offered to the public ( two from Panasonic, one from Mitsubishi and the Ericsson R289LX ), AT & T Wireless eventually refused to activate the devices.

These lever systems, which superficially resemble the mechanisms of reed instruments such as the bassoon, include levers mounted beside the regular fingerboard ( near the nut, on the " E " string side ), which remotely activate metal " fingers " on the extension fingerboard.

G protein coupled receptors ( GPCRs ), also known as seven-transmembrane domain receptors, 7TM receptors, heptahelical receptors, serpentine receptor, and G protein-linked receptors ( GPLR ), comprise a large protein family of transmembrane receptors that sense molecules outside the cell and activate inside signal transduction pathways and, ultimately, cellular responses.

For example, the identity of proteins of the immune system ( e. g. antibodies ), and the mechanism by which they recognize and bind to foreign antigens would remain very obscure if not for the extensive use of in vitro work to isolate the proteins, identify the cells and genes that produce them, study the physical properties of their interaction with antigens, and identify how those interactions lead to cellular signals that activate other components of the immune system.

Trypsin can then function to activate additional trypsinogen ( autocatalysis ), so only a small amount of enteropeptidase is necessary to start the reaction.

Note: off-hook originally referred to the condition that prevailed when telephones had a separate earpiece ( i. e., receiver ), which hung from its switchhook until the user wished to activate it.

* Sleep mode ( in electronics ), also known as standby-mode-a mode in which electronic appliances are turned off but under power and ready to activate on command

This in turn causes the Ga-subunit of the protein to activate a phosphodiesterase ( PDE6 ), which degrades cGMP, resulting in the closing of Na + cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels ( CNGs ).

The malt is milled into a coarse flour ( grist ), and added to hot water to activate the enzymes which will convert starches to fermentable sugars.

Because of this, the number of sprinklers that operate is limited to only those near the fire ( in reality, normally one or two will activate ), thereby maximizing the available water pressure over the point of fire origin.
