Fig. 2

Voluntary wheel running (VWR) increases the number and the thickness of myelinated axons in the motor cortex. a Representative electron micrographs of axon and myelin in control (Ctrl) and VWR mice. b Quantification of myelinated axons per field of view (FOV = 506 μm2) in Ctrl and VWR mice. c, d G-ratio analysis for the thickness of myelin in Ctrl and VWR mice. e Diameter of axons in Ctrl and VWR mice. For electron microscopy, enough independent fields were quantified to achieve at least 150 axons per group. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. n = 150 from3 mice per group. *p < 0.05 vs Ctrl; **p < 0.01 vs Ctrl; ns, p > 0.05, unpaired Student’s t-test and Pearson’s rank correlation test
