Fold change ratios of microglial CD68 and Iba-1 expression in the control region (dorsomedial border of ipsilateral retinal terminals) of Ten-m3 knock-out and wild-type mice dLGNs show no changes and are all centered around a value of 1

Low-power images of Iba-1 and CD68 expression in the dLGNs of 3.5-week-old wild-type (WT, 4 animals per housing condition) and Ten-m3 knock-out (KO, 5 animals per housing condition) mice underwent image binarization as depicted in Figure 6, and values for average size and % area extracted for the whole dLGN and specific dorsomedial (D-M) ROI (dorsomedial border of ipsilateral retinal terminals in the dLGN). Fold change ratios (ROI/dlGN) were determined for each section. Presented are group means and associated standard deviation (SD). Dorsomedial (DM); standard enrichment (SE); environmental enrichment (EE).
