Cells in bold contain statistically significant effects. In the NAc core and dentate gyrus, neurons are radially symmetric and unipolar, respectively, so there is no distinction of apical and basal dendrites. ‘ND’ indicates statistics based on measures that were not determined in the DG for technical reasons.
