The number of proliferating cells in the dentate gyrus of adult tree shrews at different survival times after BrdU injection, as well as after psychosocial stress or MK-801 treatment
| Number of BrdU-labeled cells in the dentate gyrus/mm2 | |||||

| 2 hr | 24 hr | Control | Subordinate | Control | MK-801 |
| 7.9 ± 1.5 | 22.7 ± 1.3* | 6.8 ± 1.3* | 1.6 ± 0.3* | 11.8 ± 2.1 | 19.8 ± 1.7* |
Values represent mean ± SEM each obtained from three tree shrews. Asterisks represent significant difference from 2 hr (time course experiment) or control (stress or MK-801 experiment);p < 0.05, unpaired Student’s t tests.
