How can you use “excitatory” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Based on the electrophysiological data, excitatory synaptic transmission is mediated in large part by NMDA receptors in immature neurons [ 15, 16, 17, 18, 19] whereas the activity of non-NMDA receptors is increased following synaptic maturation [ 19].
[ 41 ] with kainic acid support the recently proposed notion that TNF-α might not be neurotoxic in some situations when the release of this mediator is low, and therefore might not be a necessary requirement for neuronal death involving excitatory amino acids [ 49 ] .
Furthermore, though the magnitude of MMP-9 secretion stimulated by domoic acid was lower than the one observed with LPS, this is the first observation to our knowledge that an excitatory amino acid like domoic acid is able to trigger MMP-9 release in vitro.
The activation of flank marking is dose-dependent, and specific to AVP, as microinjections of other neuropeptides, excitatory amino acids, and catecholamines do not elicit the behavior [ 1 2 6 ] . Flank marking is also specific to AVP V1 receptors, as the behavior is selectively inhibited by V 1 receptor antagonists and activated by V1 receptor agonists [ 4 5 ] .
Furthermore, depending on their binding affinities and electrophysiological properties, the mammalian toxins are sub-classified into α- and β- toxins [ 7 8 ] , and the insect-specific toxins are subdivided into excitatory, depressant and α- insect toxins [ 9 ] . Several toxins which specifically affect sodium and potassium channels have been extensively studied with respect to their structure, mode of action and pharmacological properties [ 4 6 10 ] . In addition to the two main groups of toxins, several other toxins targeted toward Ca 2+ [ 5 ] and Cl - [ 11 ] channels have also been isolated during the past decade.
