Data were presented as mean ± SEM; t test was applied in the statistical analysis.

^aTotal fluorescent ChAT-immunopositive neurons in the entire cross-section of the striatum in four coronal montage images.

^bAverage number of positive staining per image (image size, 0.601 mm²).

^cAverage number of cells analyzed per image (image size, 0.81 mm²) in bright-field microscope.
