Figure 8.

No effect of presynaptic BDNF on growth of dendrites of excitatory neurons. A, D, MAP2 images of a BDNF-/- neuron that was contacted by BDNF-/- axons and BDNF+/+ axons, respectively. B, E, GAD65 images of the neurons shown in A and D, respectively. The arrows indicate the location of the soma. Note the lack of label in the cell body of both neurons. C, F, Superposed image of GFP and synaptotagmin signals of the neurons shown in A and D, respectively. Scale bar: (in A) 10 μm. G, Mean value of the total length of dendrites of excitatory neurons contacted by GFP-negative axons (BDNF-/-) (open column) and by GFP-positive axons (BDNF+/+) (hatched column). Vertical bars indicate SEM. H, Mean number of branch points of dendrites per neuron. I, Mean number of primary dendrites per neuron.
