  • A single 4 ms depolarizing current injection was used to measure CNO-induced changes in active properties as defined in Fig. 4A. Two-way ANOVA with Holm–Sidak post hoc analysis assessed active properties.

  • #p < 0.05, main effect of genotype;

  • ¥ p < 0.05, interaction between genotype and CNO treatment;

  • ¥¥ p < 0.01, interaction between genotype and CNO treatment.

  • **p < 0.01, post hoc comparison of CNO treatment within genotype.
