Table 2.

Measurements of the average soma area (μm²) and neurofilament-positive cell density (cells/mm²) presented for animals across both rearing conditions in this study. Deprivation index (DI) represents the percentage difference between deprived and nondeprived layers for each animal studied. Asterisks indicate measurements that were not collected because immunolabelling was insufficient for quantification.
