(2) The observation that phase reversals did not occur in area 29, together with the low incidence of phasic (rhythmic) theta-on cells, suggests that the posterior cingulate cortex does not independently generate type 2 theta.
(3) Preliminary rhythmic somatic stimulation has a predominantly facilitating effect on EPs appearing in response to tonal stimuli in the areas A1, S2, S1.
(4) We conclude that the pacemaker cells are necessary for rhythmic contractile activity and that cells outside this region do not contract spontaneously.
(5) Under best possible conditions of oxygen supply but in a later stage of perfusion, contractility during rhythmical stimulation is depressed more at lower than at higher rates.
(6) These data suggest that SCN plays a significant role in controlling the rhythmic activity of LHA, VMN and the pineal gland.
(7) Some organization schemes concerning locomotor and scratching rhythmicity generators are considered, such as: two half-centres with reciprocal inhibitory connections and tonic excitatory influences on these half-centres: two half-centres with inhibitory-excitatory connections and tonic excitatory influences on one half-centre; ring structures consisting of more than two functional groups of neurons with excitatory and inhibitory connections between them.
(8) It is shown that when a constant current is applied such that a stable equilibrium and rhythmic firing are present, the following predictions are inherent in the HH system of equations: (a) Small instantaneous voltage perturbations to the axon given at points along its firing spike result in phase resetting curves (when new phase versus old phase is plotted) with an average slope of 1.
(9) The relaxation achieved by rhythmic photoacoustic effects with the help of the device pre-supposes the regulation of the patient's respiration.
(10) When initiated, the two rhythmic activities continued with no further external stimulation although the intraoral self-stimulation differed.
(11) The clinical risks of the reperfusion syndrome are low, practically never rhythmic and only exceptionally haemodynamic.
(12) Disruption of the rhythmic activity of the inspiratory neurons and its replacement by a continuous and irregular discharge may lead to sustained contraction of inspiratory muscles and cessation of respiration.
(13) The rhythmic waves induced by these ions were recorded in the olfactory bulb.
(14) Different repercussion of drug therapy on rhythmic profile of patients with CHF.
(15) The spontaneous rhythmic contraction (RC) occurred consistently in the preparation taken from the thoracic aorta without external stimuli.
(16) This difference, however, did not influence the detection of rhythmical ictal activity in cheek and sphenoidal montages in our study, nor the assignment of side, site or time of seizure onset by unbiased readers.
(17) These observations indicate that the central neural mechanisms responsible for the generation and entrainment of circadian rhythmicity in the rat are not capable of either the functional or morphological plasticity characteristic of other developing neural systems.
(18) The same concentration of carbachol, after metabolic depletion by substrate removal, produced rhythmic contractions and action potentials.
(19) Critical features of the model include a non-monotonic relationship between recovery time during rhythmic stimulation and the state of membrane properties, and a steeply sloped recovery of membrane properties over certain ranges of recovery times.
(20) The preparation was spontaneously active under minimal resting tension (less than 150 mg) and at temperatures above 28 degrees C. Slow depolarizations led to a burst of spikes (multi-spike complexes), which corresponded to rhythmic contractions.
Tambourine
Definition:
(n.) A small drum, especially a shallow drum with only one skin, played on with the hand, and having bells at the sides; a timbrel.
Example Sentences:

(7) Tambourines and top hats are encouraged, as is singing along; so if you only really like that one the Corrs covered you might find it a little bit much.
(8) Elsewhere in the nursery, girls (and one boy) in school blazers rattle tambourines and play hide and seek with energetic small folk, under the watchful eyes of the nursery staff.
(9) His album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan had just been released and Mr Tambourine Man provided the backdrop for myriad eye contacts, a prelude to seduction or not, as was often the case.
(10) He tells me about how brilliant Saul is in the studio; how, when they started, Saul would shout at him for being rubbish, chuck a tambourine at Lias’s head until he made better music.
(11) A steel drummer and tambourine player entertained a small crowd on the M20, while a banjo player was spotted strumming on the back of a stationary trailer.
