Mean inter-wave intervals (IWIs) were computed as the average of median IWIs per retina; Speed values are means of means per retina. Both are ±SD. Stage 2 waves are referred to as cholinergic waves throughout the text; Stage 3 waves are referred to as glutamatergic waves (Syed et al., 2004; Bansal et al., 2000). We did not perform experiments on stage 2 Cx36ko retinas (–).
