What is "perforant"

Usage examples of "perforant".

When they then stimulated the perforant pathway with a train of electrical impulses, at the rate of 10-100 per second for up to 10 seconds, they found an extraordinarily long-lasting increase in the firing of the hippocampal neurons of the dentate gyrus, persisting for up to ten hours.

Bliss, T V P, and L0mo, T Long-lasting potentiation of synaptic transmission in the dentate area of the anaesthetised rabbit following stimulation of the perforant path.

But if one were to electrically stimulate the perforant pathway to the hippocampus, and get a great deal of adenosine triphosphate past the blood-brain barrier, for instance, thus stimulating the long-term potentiation that aided learning in the first place.

But if one were to electrically stimulate the perforant pathway to the hippocampus, and get a great deal of adenosine tri-phosphate past the blood-brain barrier, for instance, thus stimulating the long-term potentiation that aided learning in the first place.

The hippocampus, for instance, was critically important, especially the dentate gyrus region and the perforant pathway nerves that led to it.
