Accuracy of Innervation to Fungiform Papillae Increases during Embryonic Development

No of Innervated Fungiform Papillae No of Uninnervated Fungiform Papillae No of Innervated Regions with No Fungiform Papillae
E14.5 (n = 4) 79.7 ± 12.9 5.3 ± 0.9 17.5 ± 1.5
E16.5 (n = 5) 87.8 ± 4.4 2.0 ± 0.9* 16 ± 4.2
E18.5 (n = 4) 88.5 ± 4.33 1.7 ± 0.5* 4.5 ± 1.9*

Dil-SEM overlays were used to quantify the number of innervated fungiform papillae, the number of uninnervated fungiform papillae, and the number of innervated regions with no fungiform papillae. Statistical significance was determined across ages using ANOVA, and individual means were compared using the Fisher’s least-significant difference procedure. Asterisks indicate significance from E14.5 at p < 0.05.
