How can you use “stimuli” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
This remains a likely possibility because studies in murine models have shown that only the most highly differentiated T cells obtain a polarized cytokine secretion profile that cannot be altered by external stimuli [ 22].
Nociceptors are specialized primary afferent neurons and the first cells in the series of neurons that lead to the sensation of pain [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ] . The receptors in these cells can be activated by different noxious chemical or physical stimuli [ 9 10 11 ] . The essential functions of nociceptors include the transduction of noxious stimuli into depolarizations that trigger action potentials, conduction of action potentials from peripheral sensory sites to synapses in the central nervous system, and conversion of action potentials into neurotransmitter release at presynaptic terminals, all of which depend on ion channels [ 6 12 13 14 15 16 ] . Recent expression cloning has led to the identification of the first pain sensory receptor.
However, in the present studies we made use of stimuli that bypassed the early steps in the T-cell receptor-mediated signaling cascade and found that there was defective IL-2 production in cells stimulated immediately on isolation from the RA synovium, whereas these same cells were completely competent for IFN-γ production.
NH4Cl is commonly used as standard in mice and rats, although responses to NaCl, sucrose as well as an average of the four standard stimuli (NaCl, acid, QHCl and sucrose) have been used [ 10 39 ] . Normalization might be necessary when combining data from a homogeneous group of animals with large individual variation in nerve activity or to compare data between different groups (strains) of animals with large variations in nerve activity between the groups.
Stability also extends to the level of gene expression, as obligate mutualists have lost most regulatory functions and have reduced abilities to respond to environmental stimuli (Wilcox et al.
