Scaffolding protein (PSD-95) and adhesion molecule (NL-1 and N-cadherin) expression at excitatory synapses on GPF+ dendrites of one, three, and six-week-old adult-born neurons, formed after pSE and in controls (c). Cluster density (CD; clusters/µm) is given for iML and oML, on dendritic spines and shafts. Cluster size (CS; µm2) is given for iML and oML, dendritic shafts and spines pooled. Values are mean ± SEM.
