| Statistical values from text | Data structure | Type of test | Power |
|---|---|---|---|
| a. Significant effect of age, mean:(F(3,262) = 7.066; p = 0.0001) | Normal distribution (8/8 datasets) | Two-way ANOVA | 70% |
| b. Significant effect of age, median:(F(3,262) = 7.027; p = 0.0001) | Mostly normal distribution (7/8 datasets) | Two-way ANOVA | 70% |
| c. No significant effect of genotype in large-size study, (F(1,796) = 1.575; p = 0.21) | Mostly normal distribution (5/8 datasets) | Two-way ANOVA | 99.4% |
| d. Significant effect of interaction of age and genotype, mean bouton number:(F(3,243) = 6.794; p = 0.0002)Uncorrected Fisher’s LSD post hoc for P120+ comparison: mean difference, 1.802; p < 0.0001; effect size, 1.07 | Mostly normal distribution (5/8 datasets) | Two-way ANOVA with Fisher’s LSD post hoc | Genotype: 68% |
| e. Significant effect of interaction of age and genotype, mean bouton density:(F(3,236) = 3.346; p = 0.0199)Uncorrected Fisher’s LSD post hoc for P120+ comparison: mean difference, 0.9378; p = 0.0098; effect size, 0.66 | Normal distribution (7/8 datasets) | Two-way ANOVA with Fisher’s LSD post hoc | Genotype: 68% |
