Figure 4.

Comparisons of apical dendrites in the right hemispheres of IL and PL, and in the left ACx of stressed (closed circles) and control rats (open circles). Apical dendrites were plotted as a function of distance from the soma center (0). (a) and (b) show the effects of stress in the right hemisphere of the infralimbic and prelimbic, respectively. (c) show the effects of stress on the left hemisphere of the anterior cingulate. Data points represent the sum of all dendrites detected at the respective distance (radius) from the soma (mean ± SEM). Symbols indicate significant differences detected within each 10 μm ring as determined by three-way repeated measures ANOVA (∗P < .05, #P < .01).
