Supplementary Figure 6: Quantification of spine densities
From: Excitatory transmission at thalamo-striatal synapses mediates susceptibility to social stress
3-D reconstructions of MSN dendrites representative of animals expressing EYFP or tToxin after social defeat stress in (a) ILT-vSTR or (b) PFC-vSTR neurons (white arrows-stubby spines, yellow arrows-thin spines, orange arrows–mushroom spines). (c-h) Bar graph representations of mean number of other spine types (EYFP/tToxin, n= 5 mice per group, unpaired t-test, c – p =.112, t = 1.785 df = 8, d – p = 0.796, t=0.2658 df = 8, e – p =.157, t = 1.542 df = 8; EYFP/tToxin, n = 4 mice per group, f – p =.551, t = 0.6498 df = 6, g – p = 0.493, t = 0.7528 df = 6, h – p = 0.666, t = 0.4658 df = 6); scale bar = 5μm.
