Muscle and nerve measurements for Ctrl, BR−, SC−, BR− with ventral HCN2 injections, and BR− with dorsal HCN2 injections
| Muscle | Nerve | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Angle (°) | Length (μm) | Branching (OD units) | |
| Ctrl | 114 ± 11° | 159 ± 13 | 13 ± 4 |
| BR− | 115 ± 12°* | 136 ± 14** | 32 ± 11* |
| SC− | 128 ± 16°* | 145 ± 17ns | 28 ± 7* |
| BR− + HCN2 ventral | 138 ± 17°** | 132 ± 17** | 32 ± 12* |
| BR− + HCN2 dorsal | 109 ± 8°ns | 156 ± 11ns | 12 ± 6ns |
Ctrl: control; BR−: brainless; SC−: spinal cord resected; OD: optical density
Values are presented as mean and s.d. Statistical comparisons to Ctrl group are indicated for each group. P values are indicated as **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05, ns P > 0.05 (black labels after post-hoc Bonferroni’s and blue labels after post-hoc Dunn’s test)
