Table 1.
Total number of neurons in the medial septum.
| Number of neurons | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brain Hemisphere | Left (± SD) | Right (± SD) | Number of brains considered | Number of sections per brain |
| Lesioned brain | 1090 ± 319 (CL) | 1103 ± 233 (IPL) | 5 | 3 |
| Healthy brain | 1085 ± 137 | 1057 ± 82 | 3 | 3 |
Neurons from the medial septum, as delineated in Figure 5, of brains from axotomized rats (lesioned brains) and control rats (healthy brains) were labeled with neurotrace and their number quantified. CL, contralateral to the lesion. IPL, ipsilateral to the lesion.
