Note: Cell W3, which is listed in Table 1 because it was facilitated only by affective defense, should also be considered in relation to the cells in this table because it was completely inhibited during several control manipulations of the cat.

1 For reference of letter symbols, see Table 1.

2 Mean firing rate per second of baseline data. Distribution treated as Poisson unless indicated as normal by letter "n".

3 Mean firing rate per second based on five-second measures.

4 Lowest mean firing rate per second for any manipulation other than affective defense, based on five-second measures except in the case of cell O7 for which the number is based on a two-second measure for lifting of the cat.

5 Manipulations are enclosed within parentheses for the cases in which the cell was inhibited but not enough time elapsed between individual manipulations to allow a separate measure of inhibition for each.
