Example sentences for: orienting
How can you use “orienting” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
apoe gene, who are asymptomatic, but at risk for Alzheimer's disease have been shown to have a specific deficit in orienting of attention that is in the same direction as the Alzheimer's patients [ 28 ] . Other studies using endophenotypic measures of attention have linked variation in the chrna7 gene with sensorimotor gating performance [ 29 ] and variation in the drd4 gene with attention deficits [ 30 ] . However, the tasks used in these studies have not generally involved either the orienting network alone, or the task involves an undefined combination of different networks.
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.
Imaging studies show that the alerting network depends largely on frontal and parietal areas of the right hemisphere [ 3 4 ] . The orienting network has important involvement of superior and inferior parts of the parietal lobe in conjunction with frontal and subcortical structures related to eye movements [ 5 ] . The executive control network involves frontal areas including the anterior cingulate and lateral prefrontal cortex [ 6 ] .
This differs from similar tasks of visual orienting where usually only 80% of the orienting cues are valid.
The presence of a third conserved polar position in the strand that follows the histidine-containing strand suggests that it serves as the orienting residue for the catalytic histidine in the NlpC/P60.
