  • The vertex ratio is a measure of the branching pattern of the dendrites; the furthest Sholl intercept is the radius of the largest virtual sphere centered on the soma that is still intercepted by the dendrite or the axon; and the fractal index is a measure of the space-filling nature of the object. ns, Not significant; WM, white matter.

  • *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 (significant differences for parametric ANOVA), and p < 0.05, ‡‡p < 0.01 (for Kruskal–Wallis nonparametric ANOVA tests); #,†p < 0.05 (significant differences between the indicated pairs after pos hoc tests).
