  • The parameters in the rows 2–11 (age to average firing rate at rest) were taken to compute a one-way multivariate variance analysis (MANOVA). Significance levels for each parameter as yielded by Scheffé post-hoc comparison are given for normally distributed variables. For variables not normally distributed (∗), the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test was applied. ADP, afterdepolarization. One-way MANOVA, P = 0.000031.
