Hippocampal Dendritic Spines Modifications Induced by Perinatal Asphyxia

<table>Electron micrographs of E-PTA-stained PSDs (arrows) in <i>Stratum radiatum</i> of CA1 hippocampal tissue section from 4-month-old control rats and rats subjected to 19 min of PA. Note the increased thickness and dispersed appearance of the PSDs in the asphyctic brains, compared with the control. Scale bar: 0.5 <i>μ</i>m. PRE: presynapses; PSD: postsynaptic density.</table>
