Fig. 5. Nuclei formation in the ventral horn. (A) At Postnatal day 2, a few neurons were stained with RDA. (B) At postnatal day 13, two nuclei were identified. (C, D) The neurons in both nuclei were also segregated by size (under and above-average value, described in methods). The number of neurons is in the abscissa and the size in cubic micrometers in the ordinate. The line in the graphs indicates linear regression. (E) Comparing the size in P2 and P13 neurons under linear regression (average value). Note that in the P2, the size of most of the neurons is under 2,000 µm. At P13; there was a statistically significant increase in the size and number of neurons (p<0.05). (F) The mean value of neuron size in both nuclei at P13 increased up to four times.
