Repeated measures analysis of variance of the changes in the BrdU-immunoreactive cells after UCN. The main fixed effects providing the source of variation among animals were group (that is, sham versus unilateral- cochlear -lesioned cats as a function of the survival postoperative period) and side (intact versus deafferented), and cochlear nucleus (AVCN: anteroventral cochlear nucleus; PVCN: posteroventral cochlear nucleus; CDN: dorsal cochlear nucleus and CGL: cochlear granular cell layer). Degree of freedom (d.f.), Scheffe test (F), and probability level (p) are reported. ∗Indicates significant variations between variables and/or their interactions.
