Figure 2.
Layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons in the Bdnfklox/klox visual cortex have normal dendritic arbors. A, Representative dendritic arbors of layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons reconstructed with Neurolucida software from Golgi-impregnated brain sections of WT (+/+) and Bdnfklox/klox (k/k) mice at 3 weeks and 4 months of age. Scale bar, 50 μm. B, Number of dendritic branches and total length of dendrites are normal for layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons in k/k mice at 3 weeks of age. Error bars indicate SEM. C, Number of dendritic branches and total length of dendrites are normal for layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons in k/k mice at 4 months of age. Error bars indicate SEM. Quantification of dendritic arbors was made from 16 reconstructed neurons (4 neurons per mouse) at both ages.
