VFX stimulates an MMP-9-dependent increase in SWR abundance in ex vivo hippocampal slices from CORT-treated animals. A, VFX increases SWR abundance in CORT-treated WT animals (4-6 mice, n = 11-13 slices, p = 0.0025, one-way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparisons). B, Representative traces for WT animals. C, In contrast, VFX did not significantly increase SWR abundance in CORT-treated MMP-9-null mice (4 or 5 mice, n = 12 slices, p = 0.9, one-way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparisons). **p < 0.005, n.s., non significant.
