VGluT1-ir and VGAT-ir bouton distribution in CA3 of C and MMI pups. Histograms showing the VGluT1-ir and VGAT-ir bouton distribution in CA3 of C and MMI pups. The VGluT1-ir and VGAT-ir bouton density and percentage decreased in the MMI stratum lucidum, and bouton density increased in the stratum radiatum (A–D). Despite of the differences found in the VGluT1-ir and VGAT-ir bouton density and percentage in MMI pups, the VGAT-ir bouton percentage in each stratum was similar in all groups (E). The VGluT1-ir bouton area decreased in MMI10 strata pyramidale and lucidum (F). The VGAT-ir bouton area decreased in MMI10 strata pyramidale and lacunosum-moleculare, and in MMI21 stratum lacunosum-moleculare (G). n.s. indicates not significant differences; (*) and (**) indicate significant differences, P ≤ 0.05 and P ≤ 0.001, respectively.
