Example sentences for: orienting

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

The orienting response shows no evidence of heritability.
Executive function tasks activate frontal areas such as the anterior cingulate cortex and lateral prefrontal cortex, an area for which certain anatomical aspects have been shown to be highly heritable [ 23 ] . Recently, we described the Attention Network Test (ANT) that measures the efficiency of these three major neural networks [ 24 ] . The ANT is advantageous for genetic studies, insofar as it distinguishes between separate functions of attention (alerting, orienting and executive) that are correlated with the activation of these specific neuroanatomical circuits.
Studies of alert monkeys suggest that the effectiveness of alerting produced by a warning signal can be eliminated by drugs that block noradrenaline [ 7 ] . Lesions of the cholinergic system [ 8 ] and of drugs blocking ACh transmission have effects on orienting of visual attention in monkeys [ 9 ] . The executive network involves dopamine rich areas of the prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate.
Drugs like clonidine and guanfacine act to block norepinepherine, and reduce or eliminate the normal effect of warning signals on reaction time, but have no influence on orienting to the target location [ 29 ] .
There is evidence that genes can influence orienting in a task similar to ours.
