Effects of eat-4 on NSM function

eat-4 genotype	Pharyngeal pumps/min mean ± SEM (n)		Reduction of pumping rate by operation
eat-4 genotype	Control	NSM⁻	Reduction of pumping rate by operation
Wild-type	276 ± 3.7 (20)	244 ± 4.8 (8)*	11.6%
ky5	202 ± 4.4 (18)	179 ± 5.0 (12)**	11.4%

The unc-31 (e928) mutation was present in all animals used to achieve consistently rapid pumping (Avery et al., 1993b).

*NSM⁻ pumping rate is significantly different from operated control pumping rate; p < 0.001.

**NSM⁻ pumping rate is significantly different from unoperated control pumping rate; p < 0.002.
