Figure 2. VS increased the complexity of dendrites from NBM cholinergic neurons.

Figure 2.

Timelines depict the VS and control manipulation and the timing of tissue collection (A). Image of a NBM cholinergic neuron labeled with a Cre-dependent virus in a ChAT::Cre rat (B). VS increased the total length of dendrites in both sexes (C). There was also a main effect of sex, such that male NBM cholinergic dendrites had more nodes and ends than those of females (D,E). Sholl analysis was performed to assess complexity as a function of distance from the cell body and a representative trace from each group is depicted (F–I). VS increased the number of intersections with the circles in both male (J) and female (K) rats. VS also increased the length within circles in both sexes (L,M).
