Examples of spinal cord (A) and control (B) sample orienting behavior in response to step changes in mechanical torque effectuated by turning the rotator wheel. Samples responded with an oscillatory realignment to a new equilibrium orientation. (A) For the spinal cord this tended to be parallel with the magnetic field, i.e. orientation angles that are multiples of 1800, indicated by the dashed green lines. (B) No such tendency was observed for the control sample.
