1-Hz rTMS, neurogenesis, and dendritic complexity of newly generated neurons. (A,B) The number of thymidine analogue bromodeoxuridine (BrdU)-incorporated cells was not significantly different in the granular cell layer (GL) between Sham- and 1Hz- rTMS-stimulated mice. (C–F) Representative images of BrdU and Doublecortin (DcX)+ neurons. Scale bar, 200 μm. Quantification of DcX+ cells without (G) and with tertiary dendrites (H). (I,L) Dendritic length and intersections in newly generated granule cell are increased in the 1-Hz rTMS-treated mice. Data are reported as mean ± SE, n = 5 in both groups; 5 cells each mouse. * p < 0.05. ** p < 0.01.
