Figure 6.
Graphical representation of the GFAP pixel intensities (mean ± std dev over two or three brain sections at each depth) around the implant site for the movement at day-14 cohort and 42-day control animals. The pixel intensities are directly related to the amount of GFAP in the tissue, with higher pixel intensities indicating higher levels of GFAP and a more significant glial scar. There is no significant difference in the levels of GFAP in the top and middle sections. However, among the bottom sections there is a significant difference in GFAP levels between the movement at day-14 cohort and the 42-day control sections.
