Morphological measures from age-matched control and pilocarpine-treated mice examined 2 days and 1 month after status epilepticus. Values are means ± standard error.

Significant values are in bold.

MFB, giant mossy fiber bouton.

P < 0.05.

P < 0.01 (t-test).

Number of giant boutons with satellites relative to the total number of boutons examined. Note that percentages calculated from these numbers will differ slightly from percentages calculated from animal means.
