Mean relative NGF mRNA expression levels (mean integrated grey values/100 +/− 1 SEM; presented as arbitrary units) measured in various hippocampal regions of animals given access to running wheels or living under sedentary conditions for 6 weeks prior to brain collection (data from separate study).
independent samples t-test, p < 0.05
