Figure 4.
Effects of SD exposure and fear conditioning on pyramidal neuron morphology in the infralimbic cortex. A) SD exposure did not alter spine density on either apical or basilar dendrites. B) 200× photomicrograph of a representative IL pyramidal neuron (upper) and its Nuerolucida reconstruction upon which Sholl analysis was performed (lower). C) Exposure to SD did not alter complexity of pyramidal cell dendritic arborization (Sholl analysis) of infralimbic cortical pyramidal neurons.
