Fig 7

(a) Examples of human cervical spinal cord sections stained with Luxol Fast Blue. Dashed white circle indicates area containing motor neurons. Inset shows a higher magnification image of the ventral area containing motor neurons. Scale bar, 100 μm. (b) Number of motor neurons per hemisection of cervical spinal cord of adults with DS, ALS and controls (n = 4 control, 3 DS, 3 ALS). All graphs show mean±SEM. Data analyzed with unpaired t-test, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
