FIGURE 4

Total dendritic length of MeCP2- neurons is reduced. (A) MeCP- neurons have decreased dendritic length at distances of 70–130 μm from the soma compared to both MeCP2 WT and MeCP2+ neurons. The region between the dashed lines indicates where the slopes of MeCP2- and MeCP2+ cells deviate. (B) MeCP2- neuron total basal dendritic length is 15% less (275 μm) compared to both MeCP2 WT and MeCP2+ neurons. Dashed lines indicate the average maximum radial distance reached for each genotype. No significant difference was found between the genotypes in this measure. ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, and ∗∗∗p < 0.001. For Figures 4–6, 82 MeCP2 WT neurons, 98 MeCP2+ and 59 MeCP2- neurons were filled and reconstructed (five animals per genotype, 16–31 cells per animal).
