The topic of spindle-whorl classification and use has received considerable attention.
Its rigid anti-vibration structure enables several technologies to be incorporated: laser, water jet, machining spindles or non-destructive controls.
The present study suggests that an active cortical network participates in disrupting the spindle activities.
We consider this unsuccessful development of reconstituted eggs to be due mainly to abnormal spindle formation and/or unequal distribution of chromatids, as described above.
This effect occurs during cortical augmenting responses mimicking sleep spindles as well as during the self-sustained, post-augmenting activity.
The longitudinal axis of the spindle takes an oblique angle to the egg axis.
Cooling induced spindle disassembly and the recovery after warming in living human eggs (abstract).
This cycle waxes and wanes at variable intervals; between spindles, thalamocortical neurons are depolarized.
