What's the difference between nictitate and nictitation?

Nictitate


Definition:

  • (v. i.) To wink; to nictate.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Serotonin contracts the cat nictitating mebrane via serotonin2 subtypes, while facilitating stimulated contractile responses through the serotonin1-like receptors.
  • (2) The percentage of occurrence, amplitude, and latency of the rabbit nictitating membrane response were shown to be lawfully related to the parameters of stimulation.
  • (3) We report here that the same effect was observed in a variant of this learning paradigm that requires the participation of the hippocampus, i.e., trace conditioning of the rabbit nictitating membrane.
  • (4) The first one (full KCS model) was created by closing the lacrimal gland excretory duct, and removing the nictitating membrane and harderian gland.
  • (5) We trained rabbits with white noise and light conditioned stimuli and a face shock unconditioned stimulus for classical conditioning of the nictitating membrane response and then removed the ipsilateral cerebellar cortex by aspiration.
  • (6) The rabbit's nictitating membrane response was classically conditioned to tone and light conditioned stimuli presented for 800 ms before delivery of a 100-ms unconditioned shock stimulus.
  • (7) These findings indicate that the injection of the antigen into the nictitating membrane is the most effective ocular route for producing a local immune response in the Harderian gland.
  • (8) Alpha-methyl-DOPA given to cats 30 min prior to L-DOPA diminished the influence of L-DOPA on the blood pressure and the contraction of the nictitating membrane.
  • (9) After administration of physostigmine, the amplitude of the nictitating membrane responses decreased with increasing intratrain frequency.
  • (10) The competitive neuromuscular blocking agents, gallamine and pancuronium, enhanced the nictitating membrane contraction, in the cat, resulting from muscarine ganglionic transmission.
  • (11) Frequency-dependent nictitating membrane responses were elicited by sympathetic nerve stimulation in anesthetized cats.
  • (12) Rabbits were first given left cerebellar interpositus nucleus lesions followed by classical nictitating membrane (NM) conditioning using paired presentations of a tone conditioned stimulus and an air puff unconditioned stimulus.
  • (13) alpha-Adrenergic receptor stimulation induced by midodrine can be demonstrated in various smooth muscle organs (blood vessels, nictitating membrane, intestine, pupil, urinary bladder, bronchi).
  • (14) The effect of norepinephrine, histamine, serotonin and potassium chloride on electrogenesis and contraction was studied on innervated and denervated smooth muscles of cat's nictitating membrane.
  • (15) The molecule is not restricted to the cornea, and is present in most stromal matrices examined, including those of the sclera, eyelid, and nictitating membrane.
  • (16) In the cat nictitating membrane, serotonin1A receptor agonists did not alter contractions elicited by electrical stimulation (0.1-3.0 Hz).
  • (17) Three cats were raised with one eye covered by the lids, and the other, by the nictitating membrane.
  • (18) The present investigations sought to determine the effects of 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) on: 1) differential conditioning of the rabbit's nictitating membrane response to the serial compounds A-X-US (tone-light-reinforced compound) and B-X (white noise-light-unreinforced compound) by examining differential responding to A and B and their conditional control over responding to X within the compounds (Experiment 1); and 2) the ability of the compound stimuli and their components to modify the amplitude of the unconditioned nictitating membrane response (Experiment 2).
  • (19) The responses of the nictitating membrane to adrenaline were markedly depressed and did not recover after high doses of adrenaline.
  • (20) It was found that methylation of the hydroxyl groups of norepinephrine or epinephrine in either the 3- or 4-position markedly reduces or abolishes alpha- and beta-activity with the exception of the nictitating membrane of the cat.
