T-817MA, but Not Haloperidol and Risperidone, Restores Parvalbumin-Positive γ-Aminobutyric Acid Neurons in the Prefrontal Cortex and Hippocampus of Rats Transiently Exposed to MK-801 at the Neonatal Period

Figure 2

Effect of 14-day (PD 49–62) treatment with T-817MA, HPD or RPD on the density of PV-positive GABAergic interneurons (cells/mm2) in the mPFC. Data from DW group ( 𝑛 = 1 1 ), HPD group ( 𝑛 = 1 1 ), RPD group ( 𝑛 = 1 0 ), and T-817MA group ( 𝑛 = 1 1 ) treated neonatally with saline are shown in the left side. Data from DW group ( 𝑛 = 9 ) , HPD group ( 𝑛 = 1 0 ), RPD group ( 𝑛 = 1 1 ), and T-817MA group ( 𝑛 = 9 ) treated neonatally with MK-801 are shown in the right side. Values are expressed as means ± SEM. #; 𝑃 < 0 . 0 5 as compared with saline-DW group. *; 𝑃 < 0 . 0 5 as compared with MK-801-DW group. (b) Representative photomicrographs of PV-positive neurons in the mPFC from rats on PD 63.
