Sholl analysis revealed increased complexity of LC dendrites in females. (A) This is a diagram of a Sholl analysis of a representative tracing from a male (left) and female rat (right). Concentric Sholls were placed so that they radiated in 20 µm increments from around the cell body. Intersections with these Sholls were counted. (B) This graph displays the number of intersections with the Sholls at increasing distances from the cell body. Dendrites of females (n=32 cells from 12 female rats) intersected with more Sholls than those of males (n=20 cells from 9 male rats), indicating that the female dendritic tree was more complex.
