Figure 1. Compartment-specific dendritic growth.

Figure 1

(a) Photomontage of maximum intensity projections of the apical dendritic tree of a layer 2/3 pyramidal neuron imaged in a 4 month old Pten−/− mouse. (b) Basal dendrites of the same neuron in (a). (c) Coronal reconstruction of the full dendritic tree of the cell in (a) and (b). (d) Similar view of a layer 2/3 pyramidal neuron from a control mouse. Scale bars are 100µm. (e,g) Lengths and (f,h) tortuosities of the terminal apical and basal dendrites, respectively, from 3 neurons in control (CTRL) and Pten−/− (KO) mice.
