Analysis of spontaneous and touch-evoked coiling in wild type and fakir mutants

	wt	far	P Value
Spontaneous coiling frequency, Hz	0.039 ± 0.005	0.052 ± 0.017	0.4
Number of touch-evoked coils, %
0	6.7 ± 6.7	22.2 ± 11.1	0.3
1	5.6 ± 5.6	6.7 ± 6.7	0.9
2	63.3 ± 18.6	58.9 ± 4.8	0.8
3	24.4 ± 12.4	12.2 ± 6.2	0.4

Values are means ± SE in wild-type (wt) and fakir (far) mutants (n = 18 for each, from 3 clutches).
