Neural oscillation sinoatrial node normally initiates it, simply because it generates impulses slightly faster than the other areas. Hence, these cells generate the normal sinus rhythm and are called pacemaker cells as they directly control the heart rate. In the absence of extrinsic neural and hormonal control, cells in the SA node will rhythmically discharge. The sinoatrial node is richly innervated by the autonomic nervous system, which up or down regulates the spontaneous firing frequency of the pacemaker cells. Synchronized firing of neurons also forms the basis of periodic motor commands for rhythmic movements. These rhythmic outputs are produced by a group
Node (Well of Echoes) or node-drainers that drain the node of the field and render anything that draws power from it useless. Mancers who cannot draw from a distat node's field must rely on charged crystals, while clankers, constructs and any other devices of the Art will not work. There are also rare places called anti-nodes, where the Art does not work or is at least greatly reduced. Node (Well of Echoes) Nodes are fictional, naturally occurring phenomena in Ian Irvine’s "The Three Worlds Cycle" of novels. They often occur in places where there is a significant landmark, such as on a hill or
