Roundness soma | 0.6±0.2 | 0.8±0.04 | 0.6±0.1 | 0.6±0.1 | 0.7±0.2 |
Aspect ratio soma | 2.2±0.8 | 1.5±0.3 | 2.1±1.1 | 2.0±0.7 | 1.6±0.3 |
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.
