N = number of neurons measured. n = number of animals used for the given experiment.

df = degree of freedom of Student’s t test of percentage data where each neuron serves as its own control.

t = t values of Student’s t test of percentage data.

p = p probability values of Student’s t test of percentage data.

Pro = proestrus; Met = metestrus; am = morning; pm = afternoon.
