Table 1. Ribbon counts in three different age groups of ChR2-expressing inner hair cells (IHCs) and their WT controls.

Data are presented as mean ± SEM. p-Values are calculated by two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test for multiple comparisons. Results of the comparisons between age groups of the same genotype and between genotypes of the same age group are reported. Significant results are indicated with **p<0.01, ***p<0.001, and ****p<0.0001.
