Baicalin promotes maturation of newborn granule cells in the dentate gyrus of chronic corticosterone (CORT)-induced depression model mice. (A) Hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) images of the adult newborn neurons (red: DCX; green: BrdU; Blue: NeuN), scale bar=50 μm; (B) Enlarged images of the newborn immature neurons (morphology of DCX+/NeuN+/BrdU+ cells, yellow arrows) and the mature neurons (morphology of DCX-/NeuN+/BrdU+ cells, white arrows), scale bar=20 μm; (C) The number of the newborn immature neurons; (D) The number of adult born mature neurons; (E) The proportion of DCX-/NeuN+/BrdU+ cells (percentage of BrdU cells). The results are mean  ± SEM (n=3 mice/group). #P < 0 .05 and ##P < 0.01 versus Control, *P<0.05 and **P<0.01 versus CORT.
