Values are mean ± SEM. The level of significance between ventral and dorsal was determined using Scheffé’s post hoc test following a single-factor ANOVA test or Games Howell post hoc test following Kruskal-Wallis for non-parametric distributions (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001). Numbers of neurons are given in brackets. aSignificant differences between lateral and medial neurons of the vVNLL. bSignificant differences between dVNLL and lateral vVNLL neurons.
