MAP2-IR cell somata or processes were counted in the unit area (0.045 mm2) including the IZ, the subventricular zone, and the ventricular zone set in the cortex contralateral to the horizontal cut, in the ventral side, and in the dorsal side of the horizontal cut, respectively. The numbers in the five cases were averages of numbers of MAP2-IR structures obtained from three different rostrocaudal levels and their ratios. The last line shows mean ± SD of the five cases.
