Table 4 Summary of results from behavioural tests of auditory function in rodent models of autism. Entries are in bold font in cases where a result is represented by more than one study in a model or represents the majority of the studies in that model. Numbers in subscript brackets refer to the relevant papers from the literature search, as numbered in Supplementary Table 1. Models are listed in alphabetical order
