Table 1 Intra-individual variability (IIV) for impulsiveness and inattention, measured as phenotypic dispersion (PD i ) averaged over experimental session repeated by six-minute experimental segment in 16 Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats (SHR) and 15 Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats [27].

  1. Differences in dispersion were estimated using Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric ranking (χ2) and log-transformed PD i (F); differences in means for dispersion were estimated from log-transformed PD i . Variance was estimated from behavioral averages for individuals across all sessions and experimental segments [27].
