Figure 3

Unbiased stereological results for the number of pyramidal neurons, astrocytes, and synaptic boutons in hippocampal CA1 area. (A) Representative sections of Nissl staining for pyramidal neurons, GFAP immunostaining for astrocytes, and SYN immunostaining for SYN-positive synaptic boutons (For pyramidal neurons and astrocytes, above: 4 × magnification, scale bar = 200 μm; Below: 40 × magnification, scale bar =20 μm. For SYN-positive synaptic boutons, above: 5 × magnification, scale bar = 500 μm; Below: 100 × magnification, scale bar =20 μm.). (B–D) Changes in the number of pyramidal neurons, astrocytes, and synaptic boutons in each group.
