From: A quantitative method for microstructural analysis of myelinated axons in the injured rodent brain
Segmentation of MBP staining allows detailed analysis of the microstructural organization in an adult rat model of stroke by MCAO. (a) In brain sections of adult rats, MBP staining allows segmentation and proper tracing of myelinated axons. (b,c) At 70 days post-MCAO reduced fiber length and reduced number of intersections are observed in the perilesional area of MCAO animals (n = 3), compared to controls (n = 3). L = cortical lesion caused by MCAO. Data represent mean ± SEM; *p < 0.05.
