Verticality of dendrites 0.8±0.4 1.1±0.3 1.1±0.5 1.4±0.6 0.8±0.3
Orientation (degrees)* 59±31 61±27 37±37 24±25 71±19
Number of primary dendrites 4.1±1.2 4.2±1.6 5.5±2.6 4.4±0.9 4.2±0.4

*Tangential cells have an orientation close to 90 degrees; 0 degrees reflect radially oriented cells (similar to pyramidal cells).

No significant differences in morphological parameters between groups were detected (ANOVA). Values are given as mean ± standard error.
