Effects of sex on synaptic terminal density in PFC. Images (A) were taken from the infralimbic cortex of female and male control rats, and represent the projections of five optical section 0.5μm apart using 40x objective. Graphs (B and C) depict the effect of chronic stress exposure on synaptophysin staining density in infralimbic (B) and prelimbic (C) regions. Data are expressed as mean percentage of occupied area ± SEM; n = 8-10. # Male is significantly different from female at p < 0.05 by Duncan post hoc test. Scale bar = 100μm.
