Figure 6:

Representative images of the Iba1 stain (40× objective) for fimbria (Fi) and subiculum (Sub), for both normal control (NC) and 3xTg-AD (TG) mice exemplifying the microglia morphological aspects of each group. The images display the Fi-NC MØ cells with a more elongated and smaller soma compared with Fi-TG, which shows an increase in number of less elongated MØ, with a larger soma and shorter branches. In the Sub-TG, MØ number is also increased and characterized by cells with a larger cell body and shorter, thick branches.
