Simultaneous Changes of Spatial Memory and Spine Density after Intrahippocampal Administration of Fibrillar Aβ1–42 to the Rat Brain

Figure 4

Golgi staining revealed changes in spine density after the fAβ 1–42-injection (A). Apical dendritic spine density analysis showed that the amyloid treatment induced a decrease in spine density ( ). In each experimental group 75 dendritic shafts of 3 animals were studied. The values represent the mean (±S.E.M.) ( rats per group).
