Discontinuities in phase-resetting experiments.

چکیده
The effects of perturbing an on-going biological oscillation with a single brief stimulus are considered. If the time from some observable event before the stimulus to the next event after the stimulus is plotted as a function of the phase of the stimulus, then there may be discontinuities in this plot. The discontinuities reflect the size of the stimulus and the topological properties of the biological oscillation. The implications for experiments are discussed.

Phase response characteristics of sinoatrial node cells
In this work, the dynamic response of the sinoatrial node (SAN), the natural pacemaker of the heart, to short external stimuli is investigated using the Zhang et al. model. The model equations are solved twice for the central cell and for the peripheral cell. A short current pulse is applied to reset the spontaneous rhythmic activity of the single sinoatrial node cell. Depending on the stimulus...
متن کاملApparent discontinuities in the phase-resetting response of cardiac pacemakers.
Injection of a brief stimulus pulse resets the spontaneous periodic activity of a sinoatrial node cell: a stimulus delivered early in the cycle generally delays the time of occurrence of the next action potential, while the same stimulus delivered later causes an advance. We investigate resetting in two models, one with a slow upstroke velocity and the other with a fast upstroke velocity, repre...
متن کاملPhase-resetting mechanism of the circadian clock in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
Although the circadian clock is a self-sustaining oscillator having a periodicity of nearly 1 d, its period length is not necessarily 24 h. Therefore, daily adjustment of the clock (i.e., resetting) is an essential mechanism for the circadian clock to adapt to daily environmental changes. One of the major cues for this resetting mechanism is light. In the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas re...
متن کاملCELL AGGREGATES Experiment and Theory
Injection of a current pulse of brief duration into an aggregate of spontaneously beating chick embryonic heart cells resets the phase of the activity by either advancing or delaying the time of occurrence of the spontaneous beat subsequent to current injection. This effect depends upon the polarity, amplitude, and duration of the current pulse, as well as on the time of injection of the pulse....
متن کاملPhase correction, phase resetting, and phase shifts after subliminal timing perturbations in sensorimotor synchronization.
Recent studies of synchronized finger tapping have shown that perceptually subliminal phase shifts in an auditory sequence are rapidly compensated for in the motor activity (B. H. Repp, 2000a). Experiment 1 used a continuation-tapping task to confirm that this compensation is indeed a phase correction, not an adjustment of the central timekeeper period. Experiments 2-5 revealed that this phase ...
