From: Neuronal and perineuronal changes of cerebral cortex after exposure to inhaled particulate matter

(A) Changes in the levels of mRNA encoding Tenascin C in the prefrontal cortex, olfactory bulb, and temporal cortex after 4 or 8 weeks of DEP inhalation compared to the control group (n = 5/ group, *P < 0.05 on Mann–Whitney U-testing (control vs. DEP groups) (B). Changes in the numbers of neurocan (red)-positive cells in the temporal cortex of the 8-week DEP group.
