Usage Examples
Converse of object
- interconnect: One of his ideas was to define logical systems modeled on interconnected neurons.
- spike: I present a simple model of a spatially extended spiking neuron which can be studied analytically.
Converse of subject
- innervate: Acute Polio: Poliovirus invasion of one motor neuron produces degeneration of the motor neuron with denervation of muscle fibers innervated by that neuron.
Adjective modifier
- inhibitory: Firstly, the inhibitory spinal neurons do not function correctly to ' switch off ' pain signals.
- cortical: The receptive field size of cortical neurons varies across the body.
- subthalamic: All of these values are taken from data specific to subthalamic projection neurons.
- hippocampal: Axonal membrane proteins are transported in distinct carriers: a two-color video microscopy study in cultured hippocampal neurons.
- pyramidal: After a brief introduction to pyramidal neurons, I will cover some of the existing models of neuronal dynamics.
- sensory: The dorsal horns are where sensory neurons enter the spinal cord.
Modifies a noun
- degeneration: Genetic characterization of the legs at odd angles angles locus, a new mutation causing motor neuron degeneration in a gene dose dependent manner.
- firing: It was early, I only had a few neurons firing, and they evidently hadn't got their act together yet.
Noun used with modifier
- dopaminergic: It is associated with progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in specific areas in the brain.
- integrate-and-fire: A leaky integrate-and-fire neuron model is then utilized, with the input to the neuron model gained through summing the synaptic EPSPs.
- dopamine: Researchers have found that Ecstasy causes extensive damage to key brain cells, called dopamine neurons.
- substantia: Both periaquiductal gray and substantia gelatinosa neurons produce the opioid peptide enkephalin ( 11 ).
- motor: The central factors are related to the status of the motor neuron.
- mirror: I don't think you could call the mirror neuron system a model under these definitions.
Preposition: in

- vitro: Herpes simplex virus type 1 promoter activity during latency establishment, maintenance, and reactivation in primary dorsal root neurons in vitro.
- brain: The descending pathways begin with neurons in the brain, which send electrical signals to specific levels, or segments, of the cord.
