Table 2.

Probabilities of a switching outcome conditional on a ToW taking place, as a function of 3D MT network geometry

Angle
Separation Acute Normal Obtuse
0 μm 0.80* (n = 30) 0.71* (n = 55) 0.63 (n = 24)
0.5 μm 0.74* (n = 38) 0.50 (n = 42) 0.47 (n = 32)
1 μm 0.48 (n = 21) 0.44 (n = 44) 0.36 (n = 28)

The distance between MTs (rows) and intersection angle (columns) provide full geometric specification for a MT intersection. The angles and distances are as visually illustrated in Fig. 1B. In each case, the number of measurements is given in parentheses. See Fig. 3C for comparison with modeling results. *P < 0.05 (Barnard’s test).
