In a subset of cells (hindpaw n = 4, forepaw n = 7, whisker n = 1), we recorded the responses to ON and OFF stimuli delivered to a responsive surround location (either an adjacent whisker or an adjacent digit).
In a further subset of cells (n = 12), we also applied the ON OFF stimulation protocol to a responsive surround location, i.e. an adjacent whisker or an adjacent digit.
As expected, magnitudes of response to ON stimuli significantly and consistently decreased when the stimulus location was moved from the receptive field center to a responsive surround location (paired t-test, P = 0.0007).
Our results show that the spatial structure of OFF responses does not parallel the spatial structure of ON responses; namely, OFF responses do not consistently decrease − as ON responses do − when stimuli are moved from the center of a neuron's receptive field to a responsive surround location (an adjacent whisker or an adjacent digit).
The metabolic activity and fiber-type composition of individual muscle groups are highly responsive to surrounding environmental cues.
To give the coated nanowires electrical gates essentially, a means of making them responsive to the surrounding chemical environment Noy added proteins to form ion channels, which control the flow of charged atoms and molecules across cell membranes.
We find that bandwidth estimates are narrower for voxels within the PAC than in surrounding auditory responsive regions (non-PAC).
The variances in nanoscale and microscale structures are due to the adaption of stimuli-responsive polymer materials to surrounding environments under the confinement of the patterned substrate.
Natural enemies are mainly responsive to habitat diversity in the surrounding landscape.
It is said to be the part that remembers, evaluates, plans, and in other ways is responsive to and acts in the surrounding physical and social world.
Children can be buffered from surrounding stresses by attentive, responsive parenting, but the adults in these children's lives are often too burdened by their own problems to offer such care.
