Figure 8From: Upregulation of excitatory neurons and downregulation of inhibitory neurons in barrel cortex are associated with loss of whisker inputsA loss of whisker inputs leads to plastic changes in the processes of GABAergic neurons in the barrel cortices. A) illustrates the images of GABAergic neurons and their processes from a control mouse (left panel) and a whisker-trimmed mouse (right). B) Statistical analysis illustrates primary processes on GABAergic neurons from whisker-trimmed mice and control (n=15, p<0.05). C) illustrates the secondary processes sprouted from the primary processes on GABAergic neurons from whisker-trimmed mice and controls (n=15, p=0.2).Back to article page
