Cresyl violet staining. i) Representative images of cresyl violet staining depicting pyknotic cells in the CA3 region of the hippocampus. Arrow heads depict pyknotic cells. Scale bar-10 μm. ii) Graph showing changes in number of pyknotic neurons in the CA3 region of hippocampus following exposure to monotony stress, PCPA administration and novel object intervention during isolation. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. ‘a’ denotes p ≤ 0.01 when compared to PHNO group, ‘b’ denotes p ≤ 0.01 when compared to PH, ‘c’ denotes p ≤ 0.01 when compared to PHNOPCPA group, ‘d’ denotes p ≤ 0.01 when compared to PHPCPA group and ‘e’ denotes p ≤ 0.01 when compared to SH group and ‘f’ denotes p ≤ 0.01 when compared with SHNO group.
