Plant Electrostimulation and Data Acquisition

چکیده
Plant electrostimulation is a very efficient method for evaluation of biologically closed electrical circuits in plants. The information gained from plant electrostimulation can be used to elucidate and observe the intracellular and intercellular communication in the form of electrical signals within plants. Monitoring the electrical signaling in higher plants represents a promising method to investigate fast electrical communication during environmental changes. Here we discuss DC methods of plant electrostimulation and describe a new Charge Stimulation Method in plant electrophysiology. It is often convenient to represent the real electrical and electrochemical properties of biointerfaces with idealized equivalent electrical circuit models consisting of discrete electrical components. Biologically closed electrical circuits in plants can be investigated using the Charge Stimulation Method.

Electrostimulation for promoting recovery of movement or functional ability after stroke.
BACKGROUND Electrostimulation might improve motor recovery after stroke by providing neuromuscular re-training. OBJECTIVES To find if electrostimulation improved functional motor ability, and the ability to undertake activities of daily living. SEARCH STRATEGY We searched the Cochrane Stroke Group Trials Register (last searched August 2005), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trial...
متن کاملElectrostimulation of the nervous system for patients with demyelinating and degenerative diseases of the nervous system and vascular diseases of the extremities.
The results of electrostimulation of the spinal cord for symptoms other than that of pain are recorded in this publication. 50% of patients with multiple sclerosis, primary lateral sclerosis and hereditary spino-cerebellar disorders were observed to have enduring favourable changes in neurological function during the 15 to 27 months they have been followed. The patients who were the least sever...
متن کاملLimitations in using rabbit bladders in electrophysiological and urodynamic experiments
The aim of this study was to explore the possibility of using rabbit bladder as a model for experimental detrusor electrostimulation research. In a study of urinary bladder activity induced through electrostimulation of the ventral roots, the functional and morphological parameters of the rabbit detrusor were investigated. Under general anaesthesia, open electrostimulation of ventral spinal roo...
متن کاملTHE EFFECT OF ELECTROSTIMULATION ON CALORIC-INDUCED NYSTAGMUS: A PRELIMINARY STUDY
The objective of this study was to describe the role of electrical stimulation in controlling peripheral vertigo. In a prospective study on 13 healthy volunteers, nystagmus was induced with caloric stimulation and the interval of nystagmus disappearance was recorded. This time indicates the basal response of vestibular end-organ. After caloric irrigation, pulsed signal was applied for each...
متن کاملTranscutaneous electrical stimulation with Limoge current potentiates morphine analgesia and attenuates opiate abstinence syndrome.
Transcutaneous electrostimulation is a somewhat controversial technique used in the management of the opiate withdrawal syndrome. We report an animal study of a particular transcutaneous electrostimulation called transcutaneous cranial electrostimulation, based on a technique used for many years on heroin addicts for the rapid severance of their addiction, which has been validated in a clinical...
