  • Values in the cells are mean ± SD, with the range in parentheses, and the number of motoneurons. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences (***p < 0.001) with cat motoneuron data (calculated using a one-tailed Student's t test). Cat data are from Manuel et al. (2005) and our unpublished data.
