Figure 6. Structural analysis of interneurons. Panoramic view of the amygdala (A) and PFC (H) of GIN mice. B1, B2, I1, I2, Representative 3D reconstructions of the dendritic arbor of GAD-EGFP expressing interneurons. Double-hit mice showed increased dendritic arborization (number of intersections in the Sholl analysis) in interneurons form the amygdala (D, E) but not from the PFC (K, L). C1, C2, J1, J2, Representative images of spiny dendrites from GAD-EGFP expressing interneurons. Insets are magnified views of the squared sections of their respective images. Arrowheads point to dendritic spines. Analysis of the dendritic spines showed increased density in the PFC (M, N) but not in the amygdala (F, G) of double-hit mice. Horizontal lines in graphs (E, N) represent statistically significant effects of MK801 treatment (black), rearing (gray), or interaction (gray, dashed) in a two-way ANOVA. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. Colored symbols (D, E, M, N) represent statistically significant differences among groups after post hoc analysis: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. If the interaction (two-way ANOVA) was not significant, post hoc comparisons were not applicable (n/a). Scale bars: A, H, 800 µm; B, I, 40 µm; C, J, 14 µm; C, J (insets), 2 µm.
