Figure 1. Atrophy of Purkinje cell dendrites in ATXN1[30Q]-D776 mice.
Calbindin immunofluorescent confocal images taken at 60x with 150x enlargements (inserts) from the region of the molecular layer indicated by the white box.
(A) Purkinje cell dendritic tree of 12-week-old wt/FVB mice having a molecular layer thickness of 184 μm, ± 2.6 (n = 6).
(B) Purkinje cell dendritic tree of 12-week-old ATXN1[30Q]-S776 homozygous mice having a molecular layer thickness of 162 μm, ± 3.5 (n = 6).
(C) Purkinje cell dendritic tree of 12-week-old ATXN1[82Q]-S776 mice having a molecular layer thickness of 157 μm, ± 2.7 (n = 5).
(D) Purkinje cell dendritic tree of 12-week-old ATXN1[30Q]-D776 mice having a molecular layer thickness of 159 μm, ± 2.4 (n = 4).
