Table 1. Characteristics of a- and b-waves

Data was combined from the two sets of animals, normalized to their respective wild type (WT) controls and expressed in [% WT levels]. The retina appears to be able to compensate for a loss of up to 50% of trkB (trkB+/fbz and trkB+/-) with respect to amplitudes, light sensitivity and kinetics; whereas any further loss (trkBfbz/fbz and trkB-/-) resulted in a dose dependent deterioration of sensitivity and kinetics. p values: *p<0.01; **p<0.003; #p<0.05; ##p<0.005.
