Silver staining outcomes stratified by sex in the corpus callosum or by impact depth in the optic tract. A–B Representative silver staining images in the corpus callosum A and optic tract B. C–D Quantified silver staining % area in the corpus callosum C and optic tract D. * = p < 0.05. Sample sizes (1D = 1 day, 1x = 1 × mTBI, 2x = 2 × mTBI, 1.2 = 1.2 mm depth, 1.6 = 1.6 mm depth): CC-1D-F: 15; CC-1D-M: 13; CC-1 W-F: 16; CC-1 W-M: 13; CC-2 W-F: 15; CC-2 W-M: 13; OT-1D-1.2: 13; OT-1D-1.6: 15; OT-1 W-1.2: 16; OT-1 W-1.6: 12; OT-2 W-1.2: 13; OT-2 W-1.6: 16. 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)
