Because of these‚ I tried to interacts

Memory “boosted” using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Researchers at Northwestern University claim to have successfully improved memory functions through the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)‚ a noninvasive technique used to excite or inhibit neurons within the human brain. Prior to testing the participants’ memory abilities‚ each individual’s brain activity was recorded during an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan in order for researchers to precisely target s

muscle’s workload and its threshold of stimulation? The conclusions I was able to determine about the muscle’s workload and its threshold of stimulation was that the threshold stimulus will increase by one when the workload doubles. The muscles can hold a higher workload if they originally have a higher threshold of stimulation with no workload at all. 2. Why would a muscle’s threshold of stimulation change as its Workload changes? A muscle’s threshold of stimulation changes as its workload changes

can you draw about the relationship between a muscle’s workload and its threshold of stimulation? When the workload doubles‚ the threshold of stimulation will increase by 1. The muscles that have a higher threshold of stimulation can take on a high workload if it originally had no workload. 2. . Why would a muscle’s threshold of stimulation change as its Workload changes? The muscle will need a higher stimulation and work harder to be able to contract. 3. Which muscles were able to contract

prolactin secretion‚ doctors may treat prolactinoma with the dopamine agonists bromocriptine (Parlodel) or cabergoline (Dostinex). Agonists are drugs that act like a naturally occurring substance. These drugs shrink the tumor and return prolactin levels to normal in approximately 80 percent of patients. Both drugs have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of hyperprolactinemia. Bromocriptine is the only dopamine agonist approved for the treatment of infertility
