	Controls	Mutants	p value
Pyramidal cells
Mean firing rate (Hz)	1.22 ± 0.14	1.16 ± 0.21	0.76
Spike width (μs)	691 ± 64.4	685 ± 69.4	0.31
Fano factor (100ms bin)	1.54 ± 0.052	1.44 ± 0.67	0.67
Interneurons
Mean firing rate (Hz)	22.7 ± 9.4	29.8 ± 17.5	0.63
Spike width (μs)	236 ± 45.2	246 ± 41.6	0.69

Data represent the mean ± S.E.M. (mutant: n = 93 cells, control: n = 31 cells). Significance evaluated by the Wilcoxon rank sum test.
