Spontaneous activity in WT and β3 null retinae
| P7 | P12 | |
|---|---|---|
| RGCs from retinae (n) | ||
| WT | 121 (3) | 138 (3) |
| β3-null | 108 (3) | 131 (3) |
| Burst duration (s) | ||
| WT | 2.2 ± 0.39 | 1.09 ± 0.023 |
| β3-null | 2.3 ± 0.44 | 0.74 ± 0.081 |
| Interwave interval (s) | ||
| WT | 88.2 ± 8.6 | 74.3 ± 9.0 |
| β3-null | 92.1 ± 7.0 | 77.0 ± 7.9 |
The mean (SEM) are reported for wave properties. Burst duration and interwave interval in β3 null and WT retinae were not significantly different from each other (Mann–Whitney U tests; all Z-values <1.7; p > 0.1 for all comparisons).
