However, there may be significant variations across species as the rat IC appears to have a discontinuous stepwise tonotopic gradient and fewer/no intralaminar compartments at the lower frequencies, thus there may be fewer stellate cells at lower frequencies ( Malmierca et al., 1993 , 1995 , 2005 , 2008 ).

The sentences
There was a significant (~29–33 %) downregulation of GABAergic synapses in the high and middle frequency regions of old rats, but a loss (~22 %) in the old low frequency region was not as robust and did not reach statistical significance.
