Effects of AP5 administration on key architectural parameters of motor neuron dendrites

Neuron Parameter GFP AP5 F(1,49) ; p
Total dendrite arbor per cell (µm) 891 ± 51 876 ± 60 F = 0.034; p = 0.8545
Average length of segment (µm) 13.5 ± 0.1 11.6 ± 0.6 F = 2.964; p = 0.0914
Primary dendrites 5.6 ± 0.4 7.1 ± 0.4* F = 5.208; p = 0.0269
Branch points 38.0 ± 2.5 41.1 ± 3.0 F = 0.612; p = 0.4377
Branch tips 46.2 ± 3.0 49.9 ± 3.3 F = 0.686; p = 0.4115
Number of Filopodia 7.3 ± 0.7 7.9 ± 1.4 F = 0.162; p = 0.6895

Numbers represent mean ± SEM of GFP (n = 25) or GFP+AP5 (n=26) neurons. F and p values were created with ANOVA.
