Figure 6. Quantification of histology reveals NeuN-labeled cells near the majority of fibers.

Figure 6.

The distribution of distances to the nearest NeuN-stained cell for implants (measuring from the edge of each fiber) and unimplanted controls (measuring from randomly selected points). The NeuN and DAPI staining shows that there are intact neurons in close proximity to the fibers; 85% of the fibers have a neuron within 20 μm. The distance from a fiber to the nearest NeuN-stained cell is 12.81 ± 9.22 μm (std. dev.); for the control, the distance from a randomly selected point to the nearest neuron is 8.32 ± 4.72 μm (std. dev.).
