Figure 1

The morphology and density of astrocytes were significantly changed in the frontal cortex of autistic subjects. Immunohistochemistry studies were carried out on frontal cortex (A) and cerebellum sections (B) from six autistic subjects and six age-matched controls using an anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) antibody (dilution 1:1000). Pictures were taken under both low power (LP) and high power (HP). Immunostaining of GFAP (dark brown color) was present in all astrocytes. The density of astrocytes, number of astrocytic branch processes, cell body size and the total branch length were quantified using Image J analysis. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001. Scale bar: 20 μm. Data are shown as mean ± standard error (SE).
