Increased branching in GDNF + astrocytes. (A) Schematic for the experimental design to study astrocyte branching by Sholl analysis. (B) Representative pictures from the GFP and GDNF groups showing astrocyte reconstruction from confocal images. The scale bar applies to all images. (C) Main plot: line plot showing mean astrocyte intersections at different radii for the GFP and GDNF groups. Error bars represent 1 SEM. Inset: mean-annotated scatter plot showing astrocyte length. N = 4 hippocampi/group. ***p < 0.001.
