Effects of SD exposure and fear conditioning on dendritic spine density in the basolateral amygdala. Upper panel: SD mice have increased dendritic spine density in the BLA. Lower panel: 1000× photomicrographs of representative dendritic segments of BLA neurons from LD (left) and SD (right) mice. Scale bar = 10 µm. * p < 0.05 Student’s t test.
