Effect of PTX on the differentiation and maturation process. A Left panels, disaggregated NPC-SVZ immunopositive to DCX; the cells were incubated with 100 µM PTX. Right panels, corresponding magnifications showing the reduced number of neurites in the presence of PTX. Arrowheads indicate neurite outgrowth. B Bar graph showing the average number of primary, secondary, and tertiary neurite outgrowths measured from the somata. C Bar graph contrasting the average length of primary neurites in control and the three experimental conditions. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001
