Figure 5

Grid analysis of calbindin-immunoreactive (ir) cells in and around the calbindin-ir sexually dimorphic nucleus in the preoptic area (CALB-SDN) in wild-type and Bax knockout (KO) males and females. Mean (± SEM) calbindin-ir cell number (A) within the total grid (sum of blocks 1 to 9); (B) in the central block of the grid only (which captures the majority of the CALB-SDN); and (C) in blocks 1 to 4 and 6 to 9 of the grid, reflecting calbindin-ir cells in regions surrounding the CALB-SDN. The number of animals per group is indicated at the base of each bar. Different letters above bars indicate significant differences between groups in post hoc tests.
