Sensory Deprivation during Early Postnatal Period Alters the Density of Interneurons in the Mouse Prefrontal Cortex

Figure 6

Sensory deprivation changes CB neuron density in the PFC. The density of CB neurons in the PL (a, b), IL (c, d), and dAC (e, f). CB neuron density at P28 (a, c, e) and P58 (b, d, f) in each area are shown. (a)-(b) The density of CB neurons was not affected in sensory deprived mice in the PL. (c)-(d) At P56 the density of CB neurons in L5/6 was increased by sensory deprivation. (e)-(f) The density of CB neurons in L5/6 was increased with sensory deprivation at P28 and P56. Data are expressed as mean density S.E.M. ( per group). Abbreviations are the same as in Figure 4. compared with intact mice.
