Figure 5. Effects of LIPUS treatment on neuronal degeneration.

A representative Fluoro-Jade B (FJB)-stained brain section of a sonicated region. Quantification analysis indicated that rats treated with LIPUS following FUS/MB had significantly fewer degenerating neurons than FUS/MB-treated rats. The total number of FJB-positive cells is expressed as the mean number per field of view (0.8 mm²). The scale bar is 100 μm. * denotes a value significantly different from that of the FUS/MB group (*p < 0.05, n = 3).
