Environment and aging influences on the morphology of astrocytes from the dentate gyrus. a Graphic representations of mean and standard error values of morphological complexity of the astrocytes Types I and II from molecular layer (Mol DG) of dentate gyrus. Significant differences between appropriate comparisons are indicated by bar connections with an asterisk. b Graphic representation of mean and standard errors values of complexity of the “mean” astrocyte of each experimental group. Y SE young adult raised in standard environment; Y EE young adult raised in enriched environment; A SE aged mice raised in standard environment and A EE aged mice raised in enriched environment. SE standard environment; EE enriched environment
