coactivity

1. (neurobiology) Simultaneous activation.Examples: "There is little question that a significant amount of antagonistic coactivation exists and is the rule rather than the exception under typical manual materials handling conditions. This coactivity has been noted in response to several workplace factors in several studies."; "In addition to stress-related mental health problems, coactivity may also indicate other stress-related problems like cardiovascular disease. Coactivation alters HR dynamics (Eickholt et al., 2018; Tulppo et al., 2005) and may predispose individuals to atrial fibrillation (Tan et al., 2008), a risk factor for heart attack and stroke (Odutayo et al., 2016). Hypothetically, situations that induce coactivity chronically may precipitate or exacerbate atrial fibrillation, placing individuals at greater risk of heart disease; however, this idea has yet to be explored empirically."countableuncountable
