The pattern of phasic inhibition is determined by the number, variety and activity of presynaptic GABA-releasing neurons, but the relationship between neuronal activity and tonic inhibition is ...

"Instead of phasic activity, the dopamine neurons fired in a tonic pattern that varied according to the moment-to-moment changes in the reward values." This tonic firing pattern, which was a more ...

As opposed to the tonic muscle activity that determines the airway caliber and is responsible for bronchoconstriction, phasic spontaneous activity has been described in the trachea and smaller ...

But in flies where she wiped out the tonic neuron, the phasic neuron didn't budge at all, continuing as if nothing had changed. Similarly when Aponte-Santiago reduced the activity of the phasic ...

In the early days of positive psychology, a distinction was made between character strengths that are tonic and those that are phasic. Tonic strengths are those that we use consistently across ...

However, there exists no clear understanding of the computational foundation for this effect; predominant accounts of dopamine's computational function focus on a role for phasic dopamine ... reward ...

Phasic firing encodes reward prediction errors. Dopamine is involved with more than just pleasure. By contrast, tonic firing describes the slow and steady activity of these neurons when there are ...

Sustained exposure to OV329 in preclinical models reduced GABA-aminotransferase (GABA-AT) activity, increased steady state GABA levels in the brain, and induced phasic and tonic inhibition OV329 ...

When the researchers removed the channel that controls tonic activity ... When researchers removed the channel that controls phasic activity, it increased the transient high levels of dopamine ...

Tonic endocannabinoid signaling is long-lasting and contrasts with the brief pulses characteristic of phasic signaling. Endocannabinoid signaling in general affects memory formation, learning, pain, ...
