Stereological estimation of total Nissl-stained and GAD67-positive neurons in the BLA of sham control rats and KA-SE rats

Sham Control (n = 5) KA-SE (n = 5) p value (t test) % Neurons Remaining
Nissl-stained
 Mean 85,877 72,904
 S.E.M. 2,913 1,261
 Mean Gundersen C.E. (m=1) .060 .062 <.004 84.9
 Mean Schmitz-Hof C.E. (2nd est) .056 .061
GAD67+
 Mean 11,685 6,718
 S.E.M. 864 537
 Mean Gundersen C.E. (m = 1) .066 .076 <.002 57.4
 Mean Schmitz-Hof C.E. (2nd est) .065 .076

Means are values from the BLA of both hemispheres; n indicates number or rats per group. S.E.M., standard error of the mean; C.E., coefficient of error as calculated by Gundersen et al. (1999) and Schmitz and Hof (2000).
