noun
- Plural of chronaxy; the minimum time required for an electric current of twice the rheobase strength to stimulate a nerve or muscle tissue.
Usage: technical; physiology; medicine
Examples
- The chronaxies of different nerve fibers vary depending on their diameter and composition.
- Researchers measured the chronaxies to determine the optimal stimulation parameters for the electrode.
- Understanding chronaxies is essential in designing effective electrical stimulation therapies.
- The chronaxies values were recorded for each muscle group in the study.
