Amygdalar and hippocampal volumetric expansion in GF mice. (A) Representative photomicrograph of thionin‐stained section of the amygdala (A; scale bar = 0.25 mm) and the dorsal hippocampus (B; scale bar = 0.5 mm). The volumes of the defined (black lines) subregions of interest were estimated using Cavalieri's principle. The arrow indicates the border between CA1 and CA2/3. (C) The LA, BLA and CeA were significantly enlarged in GF compared to CC mice. (D, F) When compared to controls, the total volume of the hippocampus was larger in GF mice. (E) There was no difference in total brain volume between CC and GF mice. CC, n = 5–6; GF, n = 5–8. *P ≤ 0.05, **P < 0.01.
