What is "researchers"

Usage examples of "researchers".

For several decades during the Stalinist period and its aftermath, research on brain and behaviour in the Soviet Union became shoehorned into Pavlovian orthodoxy, despite the presence of new generations of researchers who, while prepared to give Pavlov credit for his undoubted achievements, sought to break loose theoretically.

To their surprise, not only did it turn out that most biochemists were reluctant to recognize the special claims of the brain over and above any other tissue, but researchers within the established brain sciences also less than enthusiastic about them.

We researchers, on the other hand, leave ours more casually open, swinging round us as we sprint down the corridor from office to lab, though that tradition is fading a bit now as biologists spend less and less time amongst chemical reagents and living things and more in the computer room watching complex multicoloured displays on the screens of the image analysis gear.

Nonetheless, might neurobiologists in general, and memory researchers in particular, not gain something by concentrating on a limited number of model systems that everyone could agree on?

Granted that the circuitry for the reflex was known, the researchers could then ask the question: when habituation occurs, which part of the circuitry is involved?

And that estimate was considered conservative by other researchers, who suggested that a date in the late 1970s might be more accurate.

April 1998, when researchers at MIT, IBM, the University of California at Berkeley, and the University of Oxford in England announced they had succeeded in building the first working quantum computers.

But you can see it in the circumlocutions which researchers use to talk about killing animals.

In the early 1900s, before the discipline of biochemistry existed, scattered groups of researchers interested in using the methods of chemistry to understand physiological processes were working in many different university departments as biological chemists or chemical physiologists.

One of the group of researchers who first explored the merits of the squid giant axon was John Zacharay Young, of University College, London.

This is of course what I did - rather than repeat exactly experiments done on mice or rats that other researchers had already reported, I asked what would happen if I tried a similar procedure with my chicks.

Those in the know - the core group of researchers in any field who spend a lot of time at conferences and seminars chatting about the state of the art - will simply disregard the anomalous result, or they will have gossiped it away in the bar after the meeting.

By 1967 memory transfer labs were back in business again, injecting a variety of brain extracts and claiming many and varied results -one group of researchers for instance trained some rats to press levers for food with their right paw and others with the left, and found that one behaviour could be transferred but not the other!

Aplysia with Ladislav Tauc in Paris in the 1960s, saw the potential of the organism, initially for the study of short-term processes such as habituation, and over the subsequent quarter-century in New York he has made its study peculiarly his own and that of the generations of researchers who have cut their teeth in his Columbia laboratory.

To achieve more precise control over the response and quantify it, the researchers immobilized the slug by pinning it to a stage and standardizing the tactile stimulus by using a jet of water delivered with a water-pick.
