A-CREB reduces neuronal branching complexity by reducing the total number of dendrites rather than the dendrites length. (A) Sum of all individual dendrite lengths of neurons transfected with control, A-CREB or CREB-FY plasmids. (B) Average length of individual dendrites. (C) Total number of branches per neuron. (D) Number of primary dendrites and branches. Observe that A-CREB expression affects the total dendrite length by both decreasing the number and extension of individual processes. Kruskal–Wallis followed by Dunn's post hoc test (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001). Analyzed neurons: Control n = 56; A-CREB n = 53; CREB-FY n = 54.
