Figure 4

Effects of FLX on the numbers of BrdU- and NeuN-positive cells in the DG. (A) 3-week survival of new neurons in the DG of mice treated with FLX for 6 weeks. (B) 3-week survival of new neurons in the DG of mice treated with FLX for 9 weeks. Tissue sections in both A and B were double-stained with anti-BrdU (green) and anti-NeuN (magenta). The higher magnifications of the boxed-in areas in (B) are displayed in (C). (C) High-power images of BrdU and NeuN double-positive cells (arrowheads) in the DG in the control (top) and FLX-treated mice (bottom). (D) Quantification of BrdU and NeuN double-positive cells in the DG. The values are mean ± SEM of 4-5 animals in each group. ** p < 0.01 significantly different from sham-operated group. Gr, granule cell layer; Hi, hilus; Mo, molecular layer.
