Fig. 6: ctg and hdg function in dendritic degeneration post dendrotomy.

a–c Confocal images of C4da neurons labeled by ppk-CD4-tdTom expression, showing an example of intact dendrites without degeneration (a), an example of higher-order branch clearance (b), or an example of higher-order dendrite clearance plus lower-order segment fragmentation (c) at 5.5-6.5 hours post dendrotomy. Red arrows indicate the injury sites. The areas encompassed by yellow dashed lines are shown as zoomed-in images at right. Scale bar in (c), 50 µm. d Quantification of dendrites that remained intact (white bars), higher-order branch clearance (gray bars) or lower-order segment fragmentation (black bars) at 5.5–6.5 hours post dendrotomy. The number in each bar graph indicates the number of samples qualified. Chi-square analyzes were used to determine statistical significance, with *** representing p < 0.001, ** representing p < 0.01, and ns for no significant difference.
