Source of data: aFig. 1; bFig. 2; cFig. 3; dFig. 4; eFig. 6. Underline indicates the drug(s) with the lowest IC50 for each test. *Differs significantly from other values in same row; nsvalues do not differ significantly from other values labeled “ns” in same row; **differs significantly from paroxetine but not chlorpromazine. ND, not determined; an IC50 value could not be calculated.
