Well, if you if you can imagine that normally the connections between neurons are very cleverly gated.

Examples

  • The gated SPECT data were reconstructed as both gated and ungated data sets to produce short-axis slices.

  • We have a voltage gated sodium channel.

  • Here we have the voltage gated sodium channel.

  • The low count data from gated studies results in data with low statistical certainty.

    Academic text (2007)
  • There are a number of strategies employed for processing the gated and ungated data sets.

    Academic text (2007)
  • Table 2 provides an overview of the gated data versus the ungated data for patient motion.

Morphology

gated = gate (transparent) = gate + ed

Adjectival/participle formation from 'gate' indicating 'controlled by a gate' in a technical sense; formation is regular though domain-specific.

Etymology

Gated in technology comes from the idea of a gate as a barrier that only 'opens' at the right time, so a gated signal or circuit only lets a signal through when it is allowed.
