Table 5.
Percentage of pyramidal cells within the microproximity of ChAT and/or TH fibers in the mPFC of rats.
| Infralimbic Ctx | Prelimbic Ctx | Cingulate Ctx | |
|---|---|---|---|
| LAYER II/III | |||
| ChAT fibers | 80.6 | 86.7 | 90.3 |
| TH fibers | 69.4 | 65.0 | 61.1† |
| ChAT and TH fibers | 63.9 | 56.7 | 55.6† |
| LAYER V | |||
| ChAT fibers | 77.8* | 90.0* | 88.9* |
| TH fibers | 86.1 | 80.0 | 87.5† |
| ChAT and TH fibers | 72.2 | 70.0 | 80.6† |
All values are mean percentage of pyramidal cells within the microproximity of fibers from six animals.
*Wilcoxon test, p < 0.05, two-tailed, Region-specific difference in fiber density.
