This table summarizes only the increases or decreases of various electrophysiological and behavioral phenotypes in a given mouse line relative to wild-type (WT)/control mice, but is not intended to compare the phenotypic severities across different mouse lines. -, no significant change; up and down arrows, increases and decreases.
