Dendritic spine density of TNC neurons in each group. a Representative photos of dendritic spines in each group. b Compared with the sham group, the density of dendritic spines in the CM group significantly increased, and there were no significant differences between the CM and CM + DMSO groups. The administration MPEP significantly reduced the density of dendritic spines. (n = 4 in each group,scale bar = 5 μm; *p < 0.05 compared with the sham group; ^#p < 0.05 compared with the CM + DMSO group; N. S:p > 0.05 between two groups)
