In vivo analysis of spine density and spine size at the adult stage. (A) Representative images showing apical oblique dendrites of adult neurons co-expressing either Venus (shown) and tdTomato (Control), or mRFP-tagged F-BARx, F-BARΔ49, SRGAP2B, or SRGAP2C (not shown). Scale bar: 2 µm. (B,C) Quantification of spine density (B) and spine head size (C). Quantifications are shown as frequency distributions. Spine density (segments): nControl = 25, nF-BARx = 24, nF-BARΔ49 = 22, nSRGAP2B = 27, nSRGAP2C = 25; Spine size (number of spines): nControl = 1872, nF-BARx  = 2049, nF-BARΔ49 = 1843, nSRGAP2B = 2295, nSRGAP2C = 2630; one-way ANOVA with Holm-Sidak’s post hoc multiple comparison test; NS: p > 0.05, *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 compared to control.
