Fig. 3From: Photobiomodulation improves the synapses and cognitive function and ameliorates epileptic seizure by inhibiting downregulation of Nlgn3PBM affects the number of synapses prior to kainic acid induced morphological changes of dendrites and neuronal population. A Representative images of PSD95 and MAP2 at 1, 2, and 3 h showed that 850 nm PBM protected PSD95 puncta against kainic acid-induced PSD loss after 3 h. The scale bars indicate 20 µm. B Bar graph shows significant changes in PSD puncta following treatment with 850 nm PBM at 3 h in presence of kainic acid as indicated. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM; *p < 0.05 relative to 3 h kainic acid (two-way ANOVA with the Bonferroni test). C, D Quantification of neurite pruning and dendrite length per neuron based on MAP2 signals. There are no significantly difference after 850 nm PBM treatedBack to article page
