tonically

The head may tonically draw to one or another side.

This phenomenon is of great value especially for tonically active smooth muscle.

When a person is under stress, the sympathetic system will shift completely towards a tonically active state.

In lexical words, one syllable will be tonically prominent.

Although the exact mechanisms are not known, it is clear that dopamine and tonically active neurons play a key role here.

During fixation, neurons near the front edge - the foveal zone - are tonically active.

Some neurons are typically constantly (or tonically) active.

The thalamus, however, is tonically inhibited by the basal ganglia.

When any kind of ion channel does not inactivate itself, it is said to be persistently (or tonically) active.

They then fire phasically or tonically.

Purkinje cells of the cerebellar cortex tonically inhibit deep nuclear cells.

They are the "tonically active neurons" or TANs.

It is thought that hypothalamic neurons tonically produce endocannabinoids that work to tightly regulate hunger.

Tonically active neurons are cholinergic interneurons that fire during the entire duration of the stimulus and fire at about 0.5-3 impulses per second.

Calponin tonically inhibits the ATPase activity of myosin in smooth muscle.

But in contrast to the medium spiny neurons, globus pallidus neurons are tonically active when not activated.

Smooth muscle contracts slowly and may maintain the contraction (tonically) for prolonged periods in blood vessels, bronchioles, and some sphincters.

These tonically inhibiting neurons thus decrease their inhibitory influence on the internal globus pallidus and the subthalamic nuclei.

It is kept tonically contracted by sacral plexus (via inferior hypo-gastric plexus) of the sympathetic nervous system.

Smooth muscle may contract phasically with rapid contraction and relaxation, or tonically with slow and sustained contraction.

These tonically active neurons are then inhibited, causing their inhibitory influence on SNpr and VTh to decline.

In a recent report, it was found that tonically active TRPV1 channels are present in the viscera and keep an ongoing suppressive effect on body temperature.

In Adie syndrome, damage involving the ciliary ganglion manifests light-near dissociation and a tonically dilated pupil (usually unilateral).

Let's first look at the internal globus pallidus neurons which are also tonically inhibiting VTh and SNpr neurons.

Kimura, M., Yamada, H. and Matsumoto (2003) Tonically active neurons in the striatum encode motivational contexts of actions.
