Hippocampal BDNF-ir cells in female grass rats housed in brLD or dimLD condition. (A) Representative photomicrographs of BDNF immunochemical staining in the CA1, CA3, and DG of the hippocampus in brLD and dimLD animals. (B) Quantitative analysis of the number of BDNF-ir cells in brLD and dimLD conditions in each hippocampal subregions. Date are shown as mean ± sem. Scale bar, 100 μm. The rectangle shows the size of counted area (200 μm × 400 μm). No significant differences were observed between the counts in brLD and dimLD condition in any of the subregion (p > 0.05).
