  • For each probe, the average ratio of labeled cell number for right/left OE was calculated across the group of control (n = 5) and unilaterally exposed (n = 7) rats. In addition, the number of rats for which labeled cell number was higher on the right or lesioned side of the OE is recorded for each group.
