Fig. 5. Neuronal degeneration in the amygdala is significantly greater than that in the hippocampus, after soman-induced SE.

Fig. 5

When the whole amygdala and the whole hippocampus were compared (average neurodegeneration score from sections along the anterodorsal to posteroventral axis), the amygdala displayed greater damage than the hippocampus, on both day 1 (A) and day 7 (B) after SE. Amygdala damage was also greater when compared with individual hippocampal subfields along the extent of the hippocampus, on day 1 but not on day 7 after SE. The bars show the medians and interquartile range. Asterisks indicating statistical significance (p < 0.05) have been placed on the bars that are statistically lower than the bar depicting amygdala neuropathology.
