Fig.4.

Time series confocal images of YFP-expressing granule cells in an organotypic hippocampal slice culture. The two granule cells shown were imaged over a period of 6 weeks. Both cells show modest somatic translocation, with the soma moving into the apical dendrites. In both cases, this distorts the apical dendritic tree. The blue arrow shows an apical dendrite, which is shifted to the basal pole of the cell. The green arrows show the soma absorbing a dendritic branch point, converting a single primary dendrite into two primary dendrites. Scale bar = 20μm.
