| Abstract | Neuronal tissue and especially the central nervous system (CNS) is an excitable medium. Self-organisation, pattern formation, and propagating excitation waves as typical characteristics in excitable media consequently have been found in neuronal tissue. The properties of such phenomena in excitable media do critically depend on the parameters (i.e., electromagnetic fields, temperature, chemical drugs) of the system and on small external forces to which gravity belongs. The spreading depression, a propagating excitation depression wave of neuronal activity, is one of the best described of the those wave phenomena in the CNS. Especially in the retina as a true part of the CNS it can be easily observed with optical techniques due to the high intrinsic optical signal of this tissue. Another of such waves in neuronal tissue is the propagating action potential in nerve fibres. In this paper, data from our laboratories concerning the influence of gravity on the velocity of propagating waves in excitable media are summarized mainly in terms of the retinal spreading depression and propagating action potentials. Additionally, we have used waves in gels of the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction as the physicochemical model system of biological activity as the properties of these waves follow the same theories as the spreading depression and action potentials and they have some striking similarities in wave behavior. Thus propagating Belousov–Zhabotinsky waves are described by their gravity dependence. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
