(A) Number of normal-appearing, degenerated, and dead neurons per cortical column of 0.25 mm width. ^*P<0.05 versus 0, 3, and 12 hours; ^†P<0.05 versus 0, 3, 5, and 24 hours; ^#P<0.05 versus 0, 0.5, 12, and 24 hours. (B) Number of astrocytes per cortical column of 0.25 mm in width. ^*P<0.05 versus 5, 12, and 24 hours; ^†P<0.05 versus 5, and 24 hours. (C) Astrocytic area (μm²). ^*P<0.05 versus 0.5, 3, 5, and 12 hours; ^†P<0.05 versus 12, and 24 hours. (D) Number of mitochondria in astrocytic cytoplasm. No statistically significant differences were found. (E) Number of cut-ends of astrocytic processes (APs) in a neuropil area of 21.33 μm². ^*P<0.05 versus 0 and 12 hours. (F) Percent volume of cut-ends of APs in the neuropil area. ^*P<0.05 versus 0.5, 3, and 5 hours; ^†P<0.05 versus 12 hours. (G) Number of mitochondria of APs in the neuropil area of 21.33 μm². ^*P<0.05 versus 0.5, 3, 5, and 12 hours.
