Spine morphology of molecular layer of dentate gyrus.

(A) Graphical representation of spine density/30μm of molecular layer of dentate gyrus; (B) Representative images of DIL dye staining of of molecular layer of dentate gyrussubarea where the mushroom spines are represented by yellow colour, thin spines by blue colour, branched spines by white colour and stubby spines by green colour (scale bar = 20 μm); (C) Graphical representation of percentage of branched, thin, mushroom and stubby spines per total spines of molecular layer of dentate gyrus; Statistical evaluation was carried out by multi-comparison one-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc Bonferroni's test. Data is provided as mean±SD (*P < 0.05;**P ≤ 0.01 ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001).]
