Values represent mean±SEM for measures of total branch counts (Branches), total dendritic length (Length mm), spine density per 10μm , and total spine number estimated on third order branches in the Apical and Basilar dendritic fields for each brain Control (n=6) and Social (n=6) groups of Experiment 1. Values are means of 10 observations per brain (5 per hemisphere). Test statistics, p values, and effect sizes were obtained from ANOVA with group as a single factor.
