Record 4 2022-07-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Internet and Telematics

Une infrastructure immuable est une infrastructure qui n'est ni modifiée, ni mise à jour. Lorsque vous devez déployer un nouveau code ou modifier toute autre configuration dans votre environnement, vous devez remplacer l'intégralité de l'environnement [...] par le nouvel environnement.

Record 9 2015-06-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Psychology (General)
  • Nervous System
OBS

The gate-control theory suggests that the transmission of pain signals from the body to the spinal cord and brain is not a fixed, immutable process but a dynamic one capable of modulation and plasticity.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Psychologie (Généralités)
  • Système nerveux
OBS

Au niveau des cornes postérieures de la mœlle, nous retrouvons le «portillon» proposé par Melzack et Wall en 1965. Le recrutement sélectif des afférences non nociceptives [...] produit une inhibition des afférences nociceptives par le recrutement d'interneurones inhibiteurs dans la substance gélatineuse de la mœlle. Selon cette théorie, une stimulation légère comme l'utilisation du massage, de la vibration ou du TENS [neurostimulation électrique transcutanée] aura pour effet de produire une analgésie restreinte à la région stimulée.
