Both subplots use reduced dataset 2, which consisted of 52 whiskers. A: within the resolution of the present study, radius slope is not significantly different between proximal and distal whisker segments. Out of 52 whiskers, 36.5% had a proximal radius slope greater than that in the distal region; the remaining 63.5% had a distal radius slope greater than the proximal slope. B: the medulla radius slope is smaller by a constant offset than the proximal radius slope of the whisker. The offset is 0.0012.
