Fig. 4 — Schematic diagram illustrating the process of assigning connections to determine the MET direction for each column of stereocilia within the bundle. (a) Top view of OHC stereocilia bundle segmentation volume. Each stereocilium and the kinocilium is labeled with its ID number. White dashed box outlines the area shown in b. (b) A higher magnification view of the central subset of stereocilia. (c) A schematic representation of stereocilia arrangement from b. Black arrows passing through stereocilia and the kinocilium represent the most likely MET direction for each set (‘column’) of stereocilia. (d) A schematic representation of the same set of stereocilia and the kinocilium as it would appear in the “LinkTable.csv” file, also presented in Table 4.
