Table 1. Motor neuron numbers from the spinal cords of the ageing cohort.
Group | Level of spinalcord | Number of mice | Mean MN count | Minimum MN count | Maximum MN count | Standard deviation |
Male +/+ | Cervical | 6 | 30.3 | 17 | 45 | 9.4 |
Thoracic | 6 | 33.3 | 16 | 49 | 12.6 | |
Lumbar | 4 | 26.3 | 19 | 38 | 8.4 | |
Male +/wst | Cervical | 5 | 32.6 | 29 | 37 | 3.8 |
Thoracic | 6 | 29.1 | 25 | 38 | 4.6 | |
Lumbar | 4 | 14.4 | 10 | 32 | 9.6 |
Mean motor neuron counts from spinal cord sections from the ageing cohort. WT indicates wild-type animals, HET indicates heterozygote animals N = number of animals in the group, Mean = average of group, Min = minimum reading of group, max = maximum reading of group, S.D = standard deviation. No differences were significant.
