Means log-transformed and untransformed (in parentheses) density scores at three septotemporal levels, or in different hippocampal subfields (fascia dentata, CA2/3, and CA1), or among different cell layers (strata) are illustrated. SEd refers to the SE of the difference of the log-transformed means for between-groups comparison in the corresponding hippocampal axis.
