Meanings

1. (not-comparable) In line with excited parallel neurofibers.
   • A Diagram of neuronal circuitry and positions of extracellular microelectrodes (EME) for recording from stellate ceils ($7), intracellular microelectrodes (IME) for recording from Purkinje cells (PC), two local stimulating electrodes (LSE 1 and LSE 2) for stimulating parallel fibers (PF), offbeam and onbeam respectively. 1976 January, Naiphinich Kotchabhakdi, “Functional circuitry of the goldfish cerebellum”, in Journal of comparative physiology, volume 112, number 1:
   • The granule cell parallel fibers activate several arrays of onbeam Purkinje cells (Fig. 1), which strongly inhibit their target neurons in the interpositus nucleus. 2007, Alan Longstaff, BIOS Instant Notes in Neuroscience, →ISBN:
   • Because of a:— counterbalancing relationship between onbeam excitation and inhibition at the Purkinje cell (Eccles et al., 1967) some manner of continually refurbished excitation from these extramuscular receptors must be postulated (Murphy, MacKay & Johnson, 1973) 1975, Harold Thomas Anthony Whiting, Readings in human performance, page 131:
2. (not-comparable) On a transmitted carrier wave.
   • But now they`re using onbeam avenues, taking it worldwide. Random individuals are secretly chosen for covert behavior, thought and perception control via onbeam avenues and other advanced technologies. 2011, Mark Leach, Marienbad My Love With Mango Extracts, →ISBN, page 91:
   • The FSTAT detector performance is suboptimal in the presence of onbeam coherent noise or incoherent signals ... 2007 December, Keith L. McLaughlin, Hans G. Israelsson, Benjamin C. Kohl, “Evaluation of a Time-Domain Adaptive Beamformer for Regional Phase Detection”, in Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, volume 97, number 6:
