Synapse Plasticity in Motor, Sensory, and Limbo-Prefrontal Cortex Areas as Measured by Degrading Axon Terminals in an Environment Model of Gerbils (<i>Meriones unguiculatus</i>)

<table><i>Top panel.</i> Degrading axon terminals as indicated by silver-stained granules (light intensities) after Gallyas et al. (1980) [<a href="/journals/np/2009/281561/#B32">32</a>] throughout the cortical layers of motor (Fr1), secondary sensory (Oc2), and limbic areas (IC) of an enriched-reared gerbil (dark field at 200x magnification). <i>Middle panel.</i> For every picture of the Gallyas staining, the marked sections (one per layer) were amplified. Note the distinct distribution of silver-stained granules in the different layers and areas. <i>Bottom panel.</i> Congruent sections (Nissl stainings) of the respective cortical areas.
