Figure 3. Ulk2 morphants have a decreased extension/retraction ratio.

Figure 3

A. and B. Habenular neurons were scatter labeled and imaged for one hour. Red arrows point to dendrites being tracked over the 20-minute period displayed. Green arrows point to an additional dendrite tracked during the same time-lapse. Dendrites in the WT neurons are maintained for longer than in Ulk2 morphants. Scale bar is 10 µm. C. and D. The number of extension (p = 1) and retraction (p = 0.1095) events per dendrite per minute was similar between WT (n = 16) and Ulk2 morphants (n = 16), but E. the ratio of extension events to retraction events per dendrite was significantly reduced (**p = 0.00488, ANOVA) in Ulk2 morphants.
