Long-shaft apical dendrites in CA3 are resistant to chronic stress. CIS did not induce a significant reduction in either overall dendritic length (A) or branch number (B) in either region of the hippocampus regardless of genotype. Two-way ANOVA revealed a main effect of genotype regardless of treatment but analysis of genotypic differences in the Non-stress groups showed a significant baseline difference between Control (n=5) and Mutant (n=5) only in dorsal branch number (bottom graph). *P<.05; mean ±SEM.
