automatic activation
Such automatic activation is most apparent when inhibitory control is lacking, either following brain insult or during early infancy.
From theCambridge English Corpus
cortical activation
It may be that threat simulations are associated with increased cortical activation, leading to intensive motor imagery that breaks through the malfunctioning inhibitory mechanisms.
From theCambridge English Corpus
differential activation
Within a given belief system, individual differences can emerge as a consequence of differential activation of these various mechanisms.
From theCambridge English Corpus
functional activation
Functional activation of the human frontal cortex during the performance of verbal working memory tasks.

From theCambridge English Corpus
microglial activation
Pathologically, at 120 days of age, mice treated with minocycline had reduced motor neuron loss, vacuolization, and microglial activation compared to control animals.
