  1. n number, a.u. arbitrary unit
  2. The p values of statistically significant tests are highlighted with an asterisk symbol. Data reported is shown as the percentage of cells positive for at least one of the elements analyzed and expressed as means ± SEM. *p < 0.05 using a Kruskal–Wallis test with a Dunn’s multiple comparisons post hoc test. Statistical tests were performed on n = 10–14 MG/MDM per animal with N = 3 mice/localization, for a total of 79 cell bodies analyzed
