Summary of the number of glomeruli or synapses formed by cad8-positive dendrites
| Genotype | Type I glomeruli | Type II glomeruli | Unidentified | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Synapse-forming structures, containing lacZ-positive dendrites | ||||
| +/− (n = 5) | 11.0 ± 1.1 | 1.5 ± 0.2 | 18 ± 1.9 | 30.5 ± 2.8 |
| −/− (n = 5) | 10.8 ± 1.0 | 1.8 ± 0.9 | 23 ± 2.9 | 35.6 ± 1.9 |
| LacZ-positive dendritic processes forming synaptic contacts with C-boutons | ||||
| +/− (n = 5) | 15.3 ± 0.8 | 2.8 ± 0.4 | 18.1 ± 0.9 | 36.2 ± 1.2 |
| −/− (n = 5) | 13.8 ± 0.9 | 2.4 ± 0.6 | 26.2 ± 1.2 | 42.4 ± 2.2 |
LacZ-positive profiles were counted in each 70 μm (width) x 70 nm (thickness) parasagittal section prepared from the intermediate mediolateral portion of the spinal cord. The values represent the mean number ± SEM per section.
