Figure 11


Fig. 11. Decreased frequency and arborization of calretinin-positive neurons in adult mutant somatosensory cortex. (A,C) Calretinin immunohistochemistry reveals lower frequency of calretinin-positive neurons in mutant (C) versus wild-type (A) mice. (B,D) Higher magnification shows reduction of dendritic arborizations and of axonal varicosities (the swellings where transmitter-containing vesicles accumulate) in calretinin-positive neurons (asterisks) of mutant (D) versus wild-type (B) brains. Insets in B show, on the left, two vertically oriented varicose processes (arrows) and on the right a highly ramified calretinin-positive neuron (asterisk). Inset in D shows a poorly ramified calretinin-positive neuron (asterisk) with a vertically oriented smooth process (arrow).
