  2. Overexcitability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overexcitability

    Overexcitability is a rough translation of the Polish word 'nadpobudliwość', which is more accurately translated as 'superstimulatability' in English. “The prefix over attached to ‘excitability’ serves to indicate that the reactions of excitation are over and above average in intensity, duration and frequency."

  3. Tourette syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourette_syndrome

    Tourette syndrome or Tourette's syndrome (abbreviated as TS or Tourette's) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that begins in childhood or adolescence. It is characterized by multiple movement (motor) tics and at least one vocal (phonic) tic.

  4. Rheobase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheobase

    The strength-duration time constant (chronaxie) and rheobase are parameters that describe the strength-duration curve—the curve that relates the intensity of a threshold stimulus to its duration. As the duration of a test stimulus increases, the strength of the current required to activate a single fiber action potential decreases.

  5. Quizlet - Wikipedia

    Quizlet was founded in October 2005 by Andrew Sutherland, who at the time was a 15-year old student, [2] and released to the public in January 2007. [3] Quizlet's primary products include digital flash cards, matching games, practice electronic assessments, and live quizzes. In 2017, 1 in 2 high school students used Quizlet. [4]

  6. Membrane potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_potential

    Cell excitability is a property that is induced during early embriogenesis. [27] Excitability of a cell has also been defined as the ease with which a response may be triggered. [28] The resting and threshold potentials forms the basis of cell excitability and these processes are fundamental for the generation of graded and action potentials.

  7. Excitation-transfer theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excitation-transfer_theory

    Dolf Zillmann began developing excitation-transfer theory in the late 1960s through the early 1970s and continued to refine it into the 21st century. [1] The theory itself is based largely on Clark Hull's notion of residual excitation (i.e., drive theory), Stanley Schachter's two factor theory of emotion, and the application of the three-factor theory of emotions.

  8. Excitable medium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excitable_medium

    Cell excitability is the change in membrane potential that is necessary for cellular responses in various tissues. The resting potential forms the basis of cell excitability and these processes are fundamental for the generation of graded and action potentials. Normal and pathological activities in the heart and brain can be modelled as ...

  9. Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neonatal_Behavioral...

    The Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS), also known as the Brazelton Neonatal Assessment Scale (BNAS), [1] was developed in 1973 by T. Berry Brazelton and his colleagues. [2] This test purports to provide an index of a newborn's abilities, and is usually given to an infant somewhere between the age of 3 days to 4 weeks old. [1]
