  2. Dirac delta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_delta_function

    The graph of the Dirac delta is usually thought of as following the whole x-axis and the positive y-axis. [5]: 174 The Dirac delta is used to model a tall narrow spike function (an impulse), and other similar abstractions such as a point charge, point mass or electron point.

    Used of an antibody-based method to detect a specific protein in a sample: Molecular biology, Biochemistry: Intracellular recording: Used to measure the voltage across a cell membrane: Neuroscience, Electrophysiology: Microarray

  4. Neural facilitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_facilitation

    During the first nerve impulse, Ca 2+ concentration was either significantly below or nearing that of the second impulse. When Ca 2+ concentration was approaching that of the second impulse, facilitation was increased. In this first experiment, stimuli were presented in intervals of 100 ms between the first and second stimuli.

  5. Experimental biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_biology

    Experimental biology is the set of approaches in the field of biology concerned with the conduction of experiments to investigate and understand biological phenomena. The term is opposed to theoretical biology which is concerned with the mathematical modelling and abstractions of the biological systems.

  6. Molecular dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_dynamics

    In biophysics and structural biology, the method is frequently applied to study the motions of macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids, which can be useful for interpreting the results of certain biophysical experiments and for modeling interactions with other molecules, as in ligand docking.

  7. Summation (neurophysiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation_(neurophysiology)

    Basic ways that neurons can interact with each other when converting input to output. Summation, which includes both spatial summation and temporal summation, is the process that determines whether or not an action potential will be generated by the combined effects of excitatory and inhibitory signals, both from multiple simultaneous inputs (spatial summation), and from repeated inputs ...

  8. Reverse correlation technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_correlation_technique

    The reverse correlation technique is a data driven study method used primarily in psychological and neurophysiological research. [1] This method earned its name from its origins in neurophysiology, where cross-correlations between white noise stimuli and sparsely occurring neuronal spikes could be computed quicker when only computing it for segments preceding the spikes.

  9. Pulse-chase analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-chase_analysis

    Pulse-chase analysis of auxin signal transduction in an Arabidopsis thaliana wildtype and an axr2-1 mutant. Wild-type and axr2-1 seedlings were labeled with 35S-methionine, and AXR2/axr2-1 protein was immunoprecipitated either immediately after the labeling period (t = 0) or following a 15-minute chase with unlabeled methionine (t = 15).
