  2. Positive feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_feedback

    Audio feedback (also known as acoustic feedback, simply as feedback, or the Larsen effect) is a special kind of positive feedback which occurs when a sound loop exists between an audio input (for example, a microphone or guitar pickup) and an audio output (for example, a loudly-amplified loudspeaker).

  3. Sodium channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_channel

    This is an example of a positive feedback loop. The ability of these channels to assume a closed-inactivated state causes the refractory period and is critical for the propagation of action potentials down an axon .

  4. Self-oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-oscillation

    Schematic representation of a self-oscillation as a positive feedback loop. The oscillator V produces a feedback signal B. The controller at R uses this signal to modulate the external power S that acts on the oscillator. If the power is modulated in phase with the oscillator's velocity, a negative damping is established and the oscillation ...

  5. Feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feedback

    A feedback loop is created when all or some portion of the output is fed back to the input. A device is said to be operating open loop if no output feedback is being employed and closed loop if feedback is being used. [45] When two or more amplifiers are cross-coupled using positive feedback, complex behaviors can be created.

  7. Neural oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_oscillation

    Because all brain areas are bidirectionally coupled, these connections between brain areas form feedback loops. Positive feedback loops tend to cause oscillatory activity where frequency is inversely related to the delay time. An example of such a feedback loop is the connections between the thalamus and cortex – the thalamocortical radiations.

  8. Hodgkin cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodgkin_Cycle

    The Hodgkin cycle represents a positive feedback loop in which an initial membrane depolarization leads to uncontrolled deflection of the membrane potential to near V Na. The initial depolarization must reach or surpass a certain threshold in order to activate voltage-gated Na + channels.

  9. Hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamic–pituitary...

    In females, the positive feedback loop between estrogen and luteinizing hormone help to prepare the follicle in the ovary and the uterus for ovulation and implantation. When the egg is released, the empty follicle sac begins to produce progesterone to inhibit the hypothalamus and the anterior pituitary thus stopping the estrogen-LH positive ...
