Investigated two areas in the somatosensory cortex. The secondary somatosensory (S2) area (AP 0.0 ML 8.0); the edge of the secondary somatosensory area and vibrissae (AP-2.0 ML 7.0) (Paxinos and Watson, 2007).

... the manufacturer's user manual. A series of 50-80μm coronal sections was obtained from the SoCx that contains the epileptic zone [17]. In quantification of dendritic spine density, coordinates were provided from Paxinos and Wattson atlas (2007): for the first point to bregma AP 0.0 ML 8.0; for the second point from IL from bregma AP −2.0 ML 7.0. (Fig. 1) [18]. Three images that cover the whole thickness of every dendrite were provided by making use of a 100× oil immersion objective on a bright-field microscope (Leica ...

... showed that TS, which is an enriching positive experience that mimics maternal licking and grooming, has the potential to affect the neuroanatomic organization of the brain [12, 16, 31, 32, 33]. Richards et al., (2012) showed that TS early in life increased spine density, dendritic branching, and dendritic length in prefrontal cortex and amigdala of rats [12]. ...
