Chronic exercise modifies cell survival rate in FMR1 KO mice. (A) The number of BrdU-positive neurons in dorsal hippocampal dentate gyrus significantly increased after long term running paradigm in FMR1 KO mice. (B) In the ventral dentate gyrus, running did not modify cell survival in the FMR1 KO mice, while in WT animals there was a significant increase in BrdU-positive cells (*p < 0.05). (C) Representative images of BrdU-positive cells in the hippocampal dentate gyrus. Scale bar: 100μm.
