Quantification of facial motor neurons and lateral deep cerebellar nucleus neurons

Age and genotype		Neuron number	Nucleus volume (mm³)
Facial motor neurons
P1	+/+	5676 ± 111	0.079224 ± 0.0026
	−/−	4021 ± 106^2-a	0.064719 ± 0.0021^2-b
P14	+/+	4960 ± 266	0.123 ± 0.0058
	−/−	3662 ± 109^2-c	0.115 ± 0.0067^2-d
		(−26%)
Lateral (dentate) deep cerebellar neurons (relative number at one level)
P14	+/+	362 ± 23
	−/−	243 ± 26^2-e
		(−33%)

Values represent the mean ± SEM. (%) represents cell loss relative to p73+/+. p values were obtained using Student's t test.
↵F2-a p < 0.001;
↵F2-b p < 0.05;
↵F2-c p < 0.01;
↵F2-d p < 0.05;
↵F2-e p < 0.05;n = 3 in all cases.
