Changes in Neurofilament and Microtubule Distribution following Focal Axon Compression
Fig 3
Microtubule quantification in axons.
Each circle represents a single measure for the Control (blue) or Crushed (red) groups. Power law fits (solid lines) are shown to estimate the relationship between axon diameter and microtubule metrics with 95% confidence intervals (dashed lines). (A-C) A strong dependency on axon caliber is observed for all microtubule measures for Control and Crushed axons; however the populations of Control and Crush axons are not distinguishable given the overlap of the confidence intervals between both groups. The smallest diameters measured are approximately 100nm and no data was taken for axons of a smaller caliber than this.
