    <p>Whole brains were washed and processed for Nissl staining by immersing in 30% sucrose until saturation and cryosectioned at 20 μm thickness. Neurons were counted (field of view) based on randomly chosen 5 fields in frontal cortex per animal. The neurons were identified by a large cell body or perikaryon containing a large, pale nucleus with a prominent dark nucleolus. Experiments were performed in 3–5 repeats for all groups. There was no significant difference in cortical neuron density between control and treated groups (p < 0.05; Unpaired Student’s T-Test; n = 5 control, n = 3 treated). Data are presented as the mean±s.e.m. Statistical significance was determined using Student’s unpaired t-test.</p
