Figure 3. Prolonged DCX expression has no influence on morphological maturation of 28 days old dentate granule cells.

Figure 3

(A–B) 3D reconstruction of an RFPonly (A) and a DCX-overexpressing yellow (B) granule neuron. Scale bar 20 µm. (C) Scholl analysis reveals no major changes in complexity in DCX overexpressing yellow cells compared to RFPonly control cells (n = 3 animals). (D–E) Quantification of the number of branch points and the total dendritic length in RFPonly- and DCX-transduced yellow cells (n = 3 animals). (F) Spine analysis of an RFPonly and a DCX-overexpressing yellow cell. Green dots represent one spine. Scale bars 10 µm.
