No change in dendritic length or branching was detected on mPFC pyramidal neurons during the postpartum period
| mPFC | Apical length (μm) | Basal length (μm) | Apical branching | Basal branching |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Virgin | 1126.57 ± 64.73 | 1082.82 ± 55.67 | 9.93 ± 0.59 | 9.23 ± 0.15 |
| Mother | 1236.60 ± 60.13 | 1197.73 ± 59.37 | 10.63 ± 0.65 | 9.70 ± 0.39 |
Dendritic length and dendritic branching for apical and basal dendritic trees of layer 2/3 mPFC neurons in virgins and mothers. p > 0.05 for all comparisons.
