Words similar to pre-pulse

Example sentences for: pre-pulse

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

To measure inactivation, cells were held at -80 mV, then stepped to a series of depolarizing (pre-pulse) voltages, from -70 mV to +70 mV in 10 mV increments, for 2.5 seconds to promote inactivation, then stepped to -50 mV for 100 ms to close non-inactivated channels, then stepped for 200 ms to the test potential of +20 mV to measure Ca 2+currents, then stepped to the -80 mV holding potential for 5 seconds to permit recovery from inactivation.
The pre-pulse was delivered from a holding potential of -80 mV, and therefore the pre-pulse current should be less contaminated by steady-state inactivation.
In contrast, γ 1 het and γ 1 null cells showed less inactivation during the pre-pulse, and thus a significantly larger Ca 2+current during the test pulse.
3Bshows the maximum Ca 2+current during the test pulse plotted as a function of the pre-pulse potential.
They also are similar to results obtained elsewhere in γ 1 null myotubes using a 5-second pre-pulse [ 20].
