Effects of NR3B expression on key architectural parameters of motor neuron dendrites

Neuron Parameter GFP NR3B F(1,59) ; p
Total dendrite arbor per cell (µm) 834 ± 38 1142 ± 61* F = 18.22; p < 0.0001
Average length of segment (µm) 17.8 ± 0.1 16.5 ± 0.8 F = 0.887; p = 0.3502
Primary dendrites 5.8 ± 0.3 6.0 ± 0. 3 F = 0.100; p = 0.7526
Branch points 22.6 ± 1.7 30.9 ± 2.3* F = 8.478; p = 0.0051
Branch tips 28.4 ± 1.8 36.9 ± 2.3* F = 8.513; p = 0.0050
Number of Filopodia 28.7 ± 2.0 36.9 ± 2.6* F = 6.301; p = 0.0148

Numbers represent mean ± SEM of GFP (n = 30) or NR3B (n=31) expressing neurons. F and p values were created with ANOVA.
