Figure 5. (In)activity-related differences in morphology of dendrites of bulbospinal catecholaminergic RVLM neurons based on Sholl analyses.

Figure 5

Morphological data on dendrites obtained via Sholl analyses demonstrated that the length and complexity of the dendrites of TH-positive, CTB-positive RVLM neurons is greater in sedentary rats than in active rats. Data were obtained at 10 μm intervals beginning 20 μm away from the center of each cell body. Differences in the number of dendritic intersections (A) and dendritic length (B) between sedentary and active rats occurred from 50 to 370 micrometers away from the center of the cell body. *, p<0.05.
