Figure 3

Running enhances cell proliferation in both non-lesioned and lesioned mice. (A) Representative photomicrographs of immunohistochemistry for BrdU in the dentate gyrus of (i) a non-runner and (ii) a runner. Scale bar = 200 μm. (B) Running increased the number of BrdU-labelled cells in both the non-lesioned groups and lesioned groups (* p < 0.05) 24 hours after BrdU injection. Comparisons between the runners of in the lesioned group and the control group demonstrated that cholinergic denervation significantly potentiated the running-induced increase in BrdU-positive cells (#p < 0.05). Data are mean ± sem.
