Fig. 5 Photomicrographs showing hippocampal slices used to assess neural degeneration. A: Normal appearance—there is no degenerated neuron in dentate gyrus (H&E, ×100). B: Minimal degeneration—scattered degenerated neurons with hyperchromasia and nuclear picnosis are noticed in dentate gyrus (H&E, ×100). C: Moderate degeneration—a great number of neurons in the gyrus are degenerated (HE, ×100). D: Severe degeneration—almost complete degeneration is present in dentate gyrus (HE, ×200).
