Figure 7. Doublecortin (DCX) -positive neuron numbers on PND21.

Figure 7

A significant treatment×sex interaction revealed a differential effect of MD on males versus females (F(3,48) = 8.04; p<0.0001). A. An increase in DCX+ cell number was found in deprived males (F(3,28) = 4.3, p = 0.018; post-hoc: CONU = CONS<MDS = MDG, at least p<0.05) and a decrease in deprived females (F(3,28) = 4.65, p = 0.013; post-hoc: CONU = CONS>MDS = MDG, at least p<0.05) when compared to controls. A significant effect of sex indicates a general lower amount of DCX+ cells in females (F(1,48) = 65.80; p<0.0001).
