Statistically significant differences in PV+ terminals and somata between animals of same age group
| Mean ± SEM (n) | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variable | Age, days | Region of MEC LII | Animal 1 | Animal 2 | Test statistics and p value |
| Soma cross-sectional area (µm2) | 10 | Ventral | 152.06 ± 6.68 (24 cells) | 110.88 ± 7.91 (23 cells) | t(45) = 3.99, p < 0.001 |
| Number of PV+ terminals | 30 | Dorsal | 4.74 ± 0.43 (27 cells) | 7.10 ± 0.78 (20 cells) | U = 160, p = 0.017 |
| PV+ terminal cross-sectional area (µm2) | 30 | Dorsal | 0.53 ± 0.28 (128 terminals) | 0.47 ± 0.25 (89 terminals) | U = 4781, p = 0.044 |
The differences between individual animals of the same age group are shown, along with associated p values derived from independent t test (soma cross-sectional area) or Mann–Whitney U test (all other variables).
