Somatic and axonal properties of dentate granule cells

Treatment	Soma area	Furthest region reached by axon (semiquantitative)	Giant mossy fiber bouton number	Branch number^* (0–50 μm)	Branch number^* (50–100 μm)
GFP	73.5 (46–109) (n = 14)	3 (1–5) (n = 14)	0.50 (0–12) (n = 14)	0 (0–5) (n = 30)	2.0 (0–8) (n = 29)
GFP + NGF	69.5 (50–174) (n = 10)	2 (1–5) (n = 9)	0.00 (0–8) (n = 9)	0 (0–4) (n = 11)	2.5 (0–5) (n = 6)
GFP + BDNF	90.4 (45–200) (n = 19)	3 (2–5) (n = 18)	0.75 (0–6) (n = 18)	2.0 (0–8)^1-160 (n = 33)	2.0 (0–5) (n = 31)

Values represent medians with ranges and number of neurons analyzed in parentheses. The number of neurons analyzed varies for some measures because not all axons could be reconstructed.
