Reelin from INs did not affect maintenance of the granule cell layer. (A) Immunohistochemical staining for NeuN in the dentate gyrus of adult animals (15 weeks). Quantification of the thickness of the suprapyramidal granule cell layer (GL) (B) and the number of NeuN-positive cells in the suprapyramidal ML (C) showed no significant difference (t-test; N = 5 animals; age: 15 weeks; error: ±SEM). (D) The Thy1eGFP mouse line (Feng et al. 2000) was used to reveal the morphology of granule cells. (E) Reconstruction of single granule cell dendrites. The branching angle (F), length (G), and mean diameter (H) were evaluated for single dendrites at different branch order (1–4). The quantifications revealed no significant difference in granule cell dendrite morphology (t-test; N = 18–44 dendrites sampled from five animals per group; age: 8 weeks; error: ±SEM).
