(16) Pedigree studies have suggested that there may be an inherited predisposition to many apparently nonfamilial colorectal cancers and a genetic model of tumorigenesis in common colorectal cancer has been proposed that includes the activation of dominantly acting oncogenes and the inactivation of growth suppressor genes.
(17) At 100 microM-ACh the apparent open time became shorter probably due to channel blockade by ACh molecules.
(18) For SP and NKA the decrease was apparent in all brain regions and both in the right and left hemispheres.

Illusory
Definition:
(a.) Deceiving, or tending of deceive; fallacious; illusive; as, illusory promises or hopes.
Example Sentences:
(1) Enhancement of the VEP of the illusory figure stimuli was observed for a specific component (N2), whereas the amplitude values at the central components and the occipital P120 (P2) and P280 (P3) were almost the same as the reference values.
(2) If a segment of a line differs in luminance or color from the rest of the line, three illusory phenomena may be perceived: a reduction in contrast of the line segment relative to the background, subjective contours running perpendicularly to the ends of the line segment, and spread of color or brightness surrounding the line segment.
(3) However, in free fall even without head tilts there was a significant suppression of nystagmus relative to 1 G and 1.8 G force backgrounds, thus potentially masking an effect of head tilt on suppression in 0 G. We have retested four of the original subjects with 90 degrees head tilts to maximize the likelihood of detecting suppression in 0 G. Although nystagmus and illusory after-rotation were suppressed by post-rotary head tilts in normal and high gravitoinertial force environments, there was still no evidence of suppression in free fall.
(4) Illusory size perception based on localization of objects in depth in such pictures nonetheless occurred.
(5) This remarkable tendency to estimate one's own image too thin in female schizophrenics is interpreted as an illusory approximation to an ideal image.
(6) These findings suggest that among a group of would-be slimmers who claim to be unable to lose weight there will be some who have become metabolically adapted to a low-energy diet and others whose inability to lose weight is illusory.
(7) Brown used the money to pay illusory profits to other investors and spent much of the rest on himself.
(8) One of the common responses to criticism of psychics is to suggest that even if their powers are illusory, there is no harm done.
(9) Incongruous and illusory depth cues, arising from 'interference patterns' produced by overlapping linear grids at the edges of escalator treads, may contribute to the disorientation experienced by some escalator users, which in turn may contribute to the causes of some of the many escalator accidents which occur.
(10) The apparent displacement was correlated with lateral heterophoria in the occluded eye, and phoria was necessary for the illusory displacement.
(11) A theory of perception is extended to figural after-effects which has been used already to rationalize the illusory phenomena of static visual illusions, fluctuating figures and visual illusions of motion.
(12) Furthermore, the disintegration of information from the neck position receptors from those of the otolith system can lead to additional illusory positional sensations.
(13) Illusory brightness effects are also observed in connection with the different organizations of this ambiguous figure.
(14) The results from Experiment 2 revealed a reversal of the effect of global goodness on the rate of illusory conjunctions: Illusory conjunctions of negative- and positive-diagonal line segments were more likely to occur in diagonal arrangements.

(16) The reverse sequence of illusory motion is experienced during deceleration.
(17) Still, there's an upside to 007's monogamy, and it may just explain how this much-maligned film has wheedled its way so irrevocably into my affections: uniquely in the world of Bond, it allows a vein of romantic adventure to develop that's real, not illusory.
(18) The demonstrations and experiments suggest that depth from an uncrossed disparity can be extrapolated from, not just interpolated between, illusory or real contours to form perceptually a background surface.
(19) When presented with such partial cues, observers report perceiving 'illusory' contours and surfaces (forms) in regions having no physical image contrast.
(20) Furthermore, a new demonstration is presented that indicates that interocularly-induced illusory contours 'capture' and extend the monocularly-induced local color spreading, resulting in global color spreading (neon color spreading).
