Overview of the outcome measures performed on the 12 cats involved in this study. First column, the apposition of the distal end of the PNG was successful in 9/10 cats. Cat #6 and #10 had a necrotic PNG due to poor rostral apposition, so the distal end of the PNG was not apposed. The distal end of the PNG was poorly apposed for cat #9. Therefore no further testing was performed on these 3 animals. +, indicates that the experiment/staining procedure was performed; −, indicates no data collection. FE, Fluoro-emerald; TB, True blue; NF, neurofilament immunocytochemistry.
