(A) DIV 14. (B) DIV 25. Given are the mean ± SEM, and n, the number of cells analyzed. P values of the Mann–Whitney rank-sum test vs. control performed after the ANOVA on ranks are in italics. ADL, apical dendritic length (μm); BDL, mean (per cell) basal dendritic length (μm); segments, number of dendritic segments. Significant values are bold and p-values are shown in italic.
