Example sentences for: excitability

How can you use “excitability” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Higher levels (30% above normal) result in increased cerebral excitability and epileptiform discharges.

  • Small increases in pCO 2 (5-20% above normal) cause decreased cerebral excitability and an increased electroshock seizure threshold.

  • The development of well-characterized cardiac progenitor cells offers the promise of using real genetic-based approaches to rapidly define the complex pathways that guide cardiac contractility, excitability, and lineage diversification into atrial, ventricular, and conduction system myocyte cell lineages.

  • Transection of the peripheral axons of primary sensory neurons results in profound alterations in their metabolism, regenerative capacity, survival, excitability, transmitter function and sensitivity to diverse extrinsic and intrinsic signals [ 1 2 ] . These changes are contributed to by transcriptional alterations triggered by a loss of trophic support from peripheral target organs, and by novel signals generated at the injury site.

  • PMA increases K ATP activity, induces a membrane hyperpolarization, then reduces the electrical excitability of pancreatic β-cells, leading to a decrease of insulin secretion.
