  • Negative changes indicate decreases in spike width, and positive changes indicate increases in spike width. Numbers in parentheses indicate number of cells responding relative to number of cells tested. Percentage changes are calculated only from those cells that responded.

  • F2-165 p < 0.001. Comparison of control spike widths with spike widths seen in the presence of NA (pairedt test).
