A

Reversion Probability = total time spent in reversion/total time after paralysis onset

B

Reversion Incidence = fraction of animals that reverse from paralysis

Asterisks(*) indicate a significant difference to control genotype as determined by one-way ANOVA with Dunnet’s multiple comparision test where

*

p < 0.05,

**

p < 0.01, and

***

p < 0.001.

C

unpaired student’s t test to cat-2 + 3 μM IMI

D

Chi-square test
