Figure 4. Cux1 and Cux2 regulate dendritic spine number and spine morphology.

Figure 4

a) Confocal images, showing dendritic spines of GFP-positive layer II–III neurons expressing control, Cux1, or Cux2 shRNAs and of WT or Cux2−/− P21 cortex. Bar represents 1 µm. Arrowheads point to small spine heads. b, c, d) Quantitative analysis of dendritic spine defects. n≥ 15 dendrite segments and n≥ 500 spines for each sample. * p<0.01 and ** p<0.001 compared to WT or Cux2−/− (brackets).
