Baicalin enhances dendritic complexity without affecting spine density of granule cells in the dentate gyrus of chronic corticosterone (CORT)-induced depression model mice. (A) Dendritic arbors measured by Golgi staining and reconstruction of the dendritic arbors in DG granular neurons, scale bar=50 μm; (B) Sholl analyses of total dendritic length in DG granule neurons; (C) Sholl analyses of the numbers of dendritic points in DG granule neurons; (D) Representative graphs of dendritic spines in hippocampal DG granule neurons, scale bar =10 μm; (E) The density of the total spines; (F) The density of the mushroom-shaped spines. Data is represented as means ± SEM (n=3 mice/group, (B, C) 3 neurons were analyzed for each animal; (E, F) 10 neurons were analyzed for each animal). ##P  <  0.01 versus Control, *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 versus CORT.
