Repeated measures analysis of variance of the changes in the Ki67-immunoreactive cells after UCN. The main fixed effects providing the source of variation among animals were group (that is, control cats or unilateral cochlear neurectomized cats infused with NaCl or Muscimol durind 3 days), 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.
