Figure 7. The numbers of PSD-95 and synaptophysin positive cells in PFC are modified by ketamine exposure.

Figure 7

The rat with location of the medial prefrontal cortex (PrL, a). Areas of prefrontal cortex as indicated in (b) and laminae II-III as indicated in (e–h) were selected for analysis. Paraffin coronal sections from P30 PFC were stained with anti-PSD-95 and anti-synatophysin (SY-38) antibodies. Fluorescent immunohistochemistry for PSD-95 (green) and SY-38 (green), and DAPI (blue). The signal was estimated by quantifying the density of immnofluorescence using Image J. The ketamine group showed a significant increase of PSD-95 immunoreactivity (c) and a significant decrease of synaptophysin (d) at P30 compared to the control. *p < 0.05; n = 6 in each group.
