  • Profile counts are shown as means ± SEM. Percent change is relative to wild-type.

  • F1-a Differs frombdnf+/+gdnf+/+ (wild-type).

  • F1-b Differs frombdnf−/−gdnf+/+ (BDNF knock-out;p < 0.05).

  • F1-c Differs frombdnf−/−gdnf−/− (BDNF/GDNF double knock-out;p < 0.05).

  • F1-d Not different frombdnf−/−gdnf−/− (BDNF/GDNF double knock-out).

  • F1-e Not different frombdnf−/−gdnf+/+ (BDNF knock-out).
