CGRP: The distribution of the profile areas of cervical CGRP-immunoreactive DRG neurons is significantly different (p < 0.005, Kolmogorov–Smirnov test) between wild-type mice (478 ± 276 μm2, mean ± SD; ncells = 239, nanimals = 3) and Dync1li1N235Y/N235Y littermates (421 ± 229 μm2, mean ± SD; ncells = 315, nanimals = 4). Data not shown. The distribution of the profile areas of lumbar CGRP-immunoreactive DRG neurons is significantly different (p < 0.005, Kolmogorov–Smirnov test) between wild-type mice (484 ± 280 μm2, mean ± SD; ncells = 255, nanimals = 3) and Dync1li1N235Y/N235Y littermates (432 ± 254 μm2, mean ± SD; ncells = 389, nanimals = 4). Data not shown.
Parvalbumin: The distribution of the profile areas of cervical parvalbumin-immunoreactive DRG neurons is significantly different (p < 0.001, Kolmogorov–Smirnov test) between wild-type mice (503 ± 260 μm2, mean ± SD; ncells = 264, nanimals = 3) and Dync1li1N235Y/N235Y littermates (468 ± 282 μm2, mean ± SD; ncells = 285, nanimals = 4). Data not shown. The distribution of the profile areas of lumbar parvalbumin-immunoreactive DRG neurons is significantly different (p < 0.001, Kolmogorov–Smirnov test) between wild-type mice (465 ± 276 μm2, mean ± SD; ncells = 233, nanimals = 3) and Dync1li1N235Y/N235Y littermates (376 ± 196 μm2, mean ± SD; ncells = 393, nanimals = 4) (Fig. 5D).
