Note the significant increase in dendritic branching points in 2, 4 and 6 ml kg CeA treated rats compared with control rats. Normal control versus 2 ml kg CeA: < 0.05, < 0.01; normal control versus 4 ml kg CeA: < 0.01, < 0.001; normal control versus 6 ml kg CeA: < 0.01, < 0.001 (one-way ANOVA, Bonferroni's test).
