The correlations between BDNF, synaptic plasticity, and mitochondria plasticity of hippocampus (***P<.001). The volume of hippocampal CA1-SR correlated positively with synapse number (A) and mitochondrial number (B). The levels of BDNF expression correlated positively with the volume of hippocampal CA1-SR (D), synapse number (E), and mitochondrial number (F). Furthermore, there was a strong significant positive correlation between the total mitochondria number density and total number of synapses (C).
