  1. Statistical analysis by ANOVA with Tukey’s post-test: data points from 30″ and 1′ K+, 2–3′ K+, and 5–10′ recovery were pooled, respectively (mean values of each listed in the last row). 2–3′K+ is highly significant over other conditions (P < 0.0001 vs. cont, 30′-1′K+, 5–10′ rec). Not significant among all other multiple comparisons including cont, 30′-1′K+ and 5–10′ rec
  2. (n) number of somas examined
  3. rec recovery in control medium
