Cilia in the brain display region-dependent oscillations of length and orientation
Fig 2
Cilia length analysis in different brain regions.
(A) Histogram showing the means±SE of cilia length in the 22 brain regions based on the average length measured in each brain section. The x-axis represents cilia length in micrometers and the y-axis represents the percentage frequency of occurrence. (B and C) Histograms showing the frequency distribution of cilia length in (B) the entire brain and (C) the 22 individual brain regions, using the section-based average method. For each brain section, the lengths of all cilia were averaged to obtain a single value, which was then used to calculate the overall mean cilia length for each region. The mean cilia length was derived from the average lengths of both left and right hemisphere sections (3–4 sections per region). The x-axis represents cilia length in micrometers, and the y-axis shows the percentage frequency of occurrence; underlying data for Fig 2 are available in S2 Data.
