DF = Degrees of Freedom; iGCL = Inner Granule Cell Layer, oGCL = Outer Granule Cell Layer, in the ipsilateral dentate gyrus; WT = Wild Type. KO = Knockout. The Sholl Analysis represents the average number of intersections in each condition (Column factor) function of the distance to the soma (Row factor).
