Differences in acetylcholinesterase staining between control and fimbria-fornix lesioned animals across regions of the hippocampus
| Region | Control (n = 4) Mean (Range) | Lesion (n = 16) Mean (Range) | Percent Decrease |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inferior blade dentate gyrus | 47.84 (37.52–53.51) | 11.48 (5.83–18.70) | 76 |
| Superior blade dentate gyrus | 59.17 (49.01–64.38) | 8.36 (4.01–15.68) | 86 |
| Hilus | 58.90 (47.73–68.28) | 9.74 (7.92–17.34) | 83 |
| CA3 | 67.00 (57.27–72.51) | 14.06 (1.57–18.47) | 79 |
| CA1 | 56.82 (48.16–64.16) | 15.58 (9.06–24.44) | 73 |
Data are inverted gray scale normalized to the corpus callosum, an area with no acetylcholinesterase.
