No chronic effect of electrically stimulated muscle contractions on the number of immature neurons or acute effect on cell proliferation in the DG. (A, B) Representative sections through the DG stained for doublecortin (Dcx), an immature neuronal marker, from a mouse in the chronic sham and e-stim groups, respectively (Experiment 3). (C) Mean total number of Dcx positive cells in the DG shown separately for sham and e-stim groups. (D) Mean volume of the DG. (E, F) Representative sections through the DG stained for Ki67, a marker indicating the cell is undergoing mitosis, from a mouse in the acute sham and e-stim groups, respectively (Experiment 1). (G) Mean total number of Ki67 positive cells in the DG. (H) Mean volume of the DG. Standard error bars shown; n = 16 or 17 per bar.
