Table 3.
Microproximity between ChAT and TH fibers in the mPFC of rats.
Infralimbic Ctx | Prelimbic Ctx | Cingulate Ctx | |
---|---|---|---|
LAYER II/III | |||
ChAT fibers to TH fibers | 12.2†‡* | 8.8†‡* | 12.3†‡* |
TH fibers to ChAT fibers | 23.9†* | 28.1†* | 39.6†* |
LAYER V | |||
ChAT fibers to TH fibers | 17.9†‡ | 12.9†‡* | 15.5†‡* |
TH fibers to ChAT fibers | 21.4† | 22.8†* | 40.1†* |
All values are percentage of axonal segment in microproximity over total fiber length from six animals. Abbreviations: ChAT, choline acetyltransferase; Ctx, cortex; TH, tyrosine hydroxylase.
*Wilcoxon test, p < 0.05, two-tailed, ChAT vs TH fibers.
†Wilcoxon test, p < 0.05, two-tailed, Region-specific difference.
‡Wilcoxon test, p < 0.05, two-tailed, Layer-specific difference.
