Figure 8. BrdU was applied on P12–14, starting on the first day after infection.

The animals were sacrificed on P35 and coronary brain sections were stained for BrdU. In mock-infected animals (PM−), the density of BrdU positive cells in the dentate gyrus was significantly higher after LiCl therapy compared to vehicle, while survival of newborn cells was not altered in infected littermates (PM+). (BrdU, Bromodeoxyuridine; boxes extend from the 25th to 75th percentiles and include median; +, mean; whiskers, minimum to maximum value; *p<0.05).
