Silver staining in the corpus callosum and optic tracts. A Representative images of silver staining in mice receiving two sham operations, one sham operation and one mTBI, or two mTBIs in the corpus callosum (CC; top) and optic tract (OT; bottom). Scale bar represents 10 μm. B Quantified silver staining % area. * = p < 0.05. All data are presented as the mean ± the standard error of the mean. Sample sizes (1D = 1 day, 1X = 1 × mTBI, 2X = 2 × mTBI): CC-1D-1X: 12; CC-1D-2X: 16; CC-1 W-1X: 13; CC-1 W-2X: 16; CC-2 W-1X: 14; CC-2 W-2X: 14; OT-1D-1X: 13; OT-1D-2X: 15; OT-1 W-1X: 13; OT-1 W-2X: 15; OT-2 W-1X: 14; OT-2 W-2X: 15. Note that the extent of counter-staining (brownish-orange background) present on the tissue slices is an artifact of processing the tissue with the silver staining kit and is not related to the extent of silver deposited on the tissue itself (black specks and lines)
