Fig. 4From: Retinal ganglion cell degeneration correlates with hippocampal spine loss in experimental Alzheimer’s diseaseRGC receptive field classification impacts on dendritic loss. a–b Representative confocal images of ON-centre RGCs from WT Control, Tg2576, B6J Control 3xTg-AD and APPNL-G-F with corresponding Imaris reconstructions. Arrows indicate axons. Scale bar 100 µm. c–e Sholl analysis of reconstructed ON-centre RGCs comparing single models to show significance. Two-tailed Mann–Whitney U test at each interval distance, *p < 0.05. f–g Representative confocal images of OFF-centre RGCs from WT Control, Tg2576, B6J Control, 3xTg-AD and APPNL-G-F with corresponding Imaris reconstructions. Arrows indicate axons. Scale bar 100 µm. h–j Sholl analysis of reconstructed OFF-centre RGCs comparing single models to show significance. Two-tailed Mann–Whitney U test at each interval distance, *p < 0.05. Sholl analysis line represents mean of group at each interval, shaded error zones represent ± SEM.
