As previous work on mouse cornea (Rhee et al. in review) demonstrated, directions of maximum shear strain do not always fit observed spirals well.
However, demonstrating direction of transmission is not identical to demonstrating direct transmission from one to another.
Future research should utilize longitudinal designs to demonstrate direction of influence of variables, and use a broader range of pro- and anti-inflammatory markers.
The results of this study both extend those of Eisenberg et. al. (2010), to demonstrate direction encoding throughout the motor system (consistent with neuophysiological studies in non-human primates), and further support the use of fMRI-A as a valuable tool for studying the information encoded by sensorimotor regions of the central nervous system.
The advantage of this approach over pharmacology or genetic manipulation is that it acutely disrupts the inhibition impinging on a single RGC while leaving excitatory inputs and the rest of the retinal circuitry intact; a similar approach was used to demonstrate direction selectivity occurs postsynaptically in direction-selective RGCs (Taylor et al., 2000).
Using this understanding we design model substrates that display extremely small or extremely large roll-off angles, as well as surfaces that demonstrate direction-dependent wettability, through a systematic control of surface topography and connectivity.
A theoretical calculation has demonstrated the direction of the dipoles generated by the adsorbed N719 molecules on the oxide surface with the monodentate anchoring mode directed to the oxide surface (i.e., cosθ < 0) (Fig. 5b) [22].
Previous works investigating the radiation force of diverging spherical progressive waves incident upon spherical particles have demonstrated the direction of reversal of the force when the particle is subjected to a curved wave-front.
For the longer term, he suggested adding a pilot's indicator that directly demonstrated the direction needed to intercept.
The last time the animals were tested at 23 weeks of age, all subjects but one followed the demonstrated gaze direction with a significantly shorter latency in the test trials than in the control trial (Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed ranks test: N = 9 (1 tie), T = 0, p = 0.008, Figure 5).
