Effects of Chronic Dopamine D2R Agonist Treatment and Polysialic Acid Depletion on Dendritic Spine Density and Excitatory Neurotransmission in the mPFC of Adult Rats

Figure 3

Graphs representing the changes in VGLUT1 neuropil expression after Endo-N and/or PPHT treatments in the different layers and regions within the mPFC. (a) Infralimbic cortex; (b) prelimbic cortex; (c) dorsal cingulate cortex; (d) ventral cingulate cortex. Six animals per group were analyzed. Error bars represent SEM and asterisks in bars indicate statistically significant differences between groups after univariate repeated measures ANOVA followed by multiple pairwise comparisons with Bonferroni’s correction (, , and ). Roman numbers indicate cortical layers.
