Fig. 3. Effects of puberty on synaptophysin boutons.

Fig. 3

Males that had reached puberty by P45 had significantly fewer synapses than those who had not [p = 0.02] (A). Prepubertal males at P45 had significantly more synapses than the post pubertal males at P60 [p < 0.01] (C). Female pubertal status at P35 did not significantly affect the number of synaptophysin bouton counts (B), though females at P35 that had not yet undergone puberty had significantly more synapses than post pubertal females at P45 [p = 0.02] (D).
