29 , 30 The SAUCE studies in Spain (1996–1997, 1998–1999, 2001–2002, 2006–2007) have shown a decreasing trend for penicillin nonsusceptibility rates (60.0%, 50.2%, 43.9%, and 22.9%, respectively) in contrast to erythromycin nonsusceptibility, which has shown lower variations (36.5%, 34.9%, 34.5%, and 22.9%, respectively), the MLS B resistance phenotype decreasing over time (from 98.4% in 1996–1997 to 81.3% in 2006–2007).

Figure 2C shows input-output curves at the soma (red symbols, n = 27) and axonal segments in 10~30 μm (axon hillock; blue, n = 15) and >30 μm (green, n = 12) away from the soma i.e., a decreasing trend in the ability of firing spikes from the soma to the axon.

Even after stratifying subjects by antihypertensive medication status, a decreasing trend in blood pressured remained ( Supplementary Fig.

Results During the FA phase the movements of the CP subjects were more curved, displaying greater and variable directional error; over the course of the CF phase both groups showed a decreasing trend in the lateral error and an after-effect at the beginning of the wash-out, but the CP group had a non significant adaptation rate and a lower learning index, suggesting that CP subjects have reduced ability to learn to compensate external force.
