Three-dimensional morphometric analysis of Golgi-Cox impregnated neurons of the ventral hippocampus, BNST and amygdala. Nenf−/− mice have shorter dendrites than controls in the dentate gyrus (DG) of the ventral hippocampus (A, left panel) as well as less intersections between dendrites (A, right panel). These differences in dendrite morphology and neuron arborization are not observed for the hippocampal CA1 region (B, left and right panel, respectively). Neudesin-null mice have shorter dendritic length in the anterior medial division of the BNST (amBNST) and no differences in the number of intersections in the sholl analysis (C, left and right panel, respectively). Analysis of the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala (BLa) revealed no differences concerning dendritic length or arborization (D, left and right panels, respectively). The middle panels correspond to a representative 3D reconstructed neuron from each region analyzed from both Nenf+/+ (left) and Nenf−/− (right). Data are presented as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05.
