Deletion of the NMDA Receptor GluN2A Subunit Significantly Decreases Dendritic Growth in Maturing Dentate Granule Neurons
Figure 3
GluN2A does not alter the number of primary dendrites in dentate granule cells.
(A, B) Representative images of Golgi-impregnated cells from the inner granular zone (IGZ, A) and outer granular zone (OGZ, B). Light micrographs were acquired at 10x (left panels) and 40x (right panels) magnification. (C, D) Percentage of dentate granule cells with different numbers of primary dendrites. GluN2A expression did not alter the number of cells with one (black), two (grey), and three or more (white) primary dendrites in IGZ (C) and OGZ (D) cells. Scale bar = 100 µm (left panels), 25 µm (right panels) (A, B).
