The phrase "adjacent shaft" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to engineering, mechanics, or any field where the positioning of objects is relevant.
Example: "The technician examined the adjacent shaft for any signs of wear or damage during the maintenance check."
Alternatives: "neighboring shaft" or "contiguous shaft".
As workers tried to drain the millions of gallons of water that had gushed in from an adjacent shaft, a government safety body accused the mine's construction managers of ignoring warning signs in their rush to start production.
Average intensities of spines and adjacent shaft regions were exported to Excel, ratios were calculated and data were plotted using Graphpad Prism.
The fluorescent intensities of myc signals in spine heads and directly adjacent shaft regions were manually measured using intensity profile tool (crossed lines) of NIS-Elements.
We conclude that repeated iterations of dendritic protrusion or spine outgrowth adjacent to shaft synapses is very likely to be a critical component of the shaft-to-spinous synapse transition during CNS development.
They broke in via an adjacent lift shaft, drilled through a thick concrete wall and broke into 73 security boxes without leaving a forensic trace.
However, recent work suggests that the movement of molecules and organelles between the spine and the adjacent dendritic shaft can critically influence synaptic plasticity.
However, recent work suggests that the movement of molecules and organelles between the spine and other neuronal compartments, such as the adjacent dendritic shaft, influences synaptic plasticity.
In contrast, the postsynaptic elements in our synaptosomes are pinched off from the adjacent dendritic shaft, thereby providing a means to study plasticity in physically isolated dendritic spines.
The boundaries between a varicosity and the adjacent axonal shaft were defined as a points where the transverse diameter of the varicosity increased above the diameter of the adjacent axonal shaft in each optical section.
Actin filaments in spines normally turn over rapidly, due to treadmilling, while actin monomers exchange bidirectionally between spines and the adjacent dendritic shaft ([ Star et al., 2002; Bosch and Hayashi, 2012]; Figure 4A).
(F ) Quantified spine targeting ratio (signal intensity in dendritic spines compared to adjacent dendritic shaft) for each construct from E. Data are mean + SEM for n = 30 neurons for each condition.
