Long-Term Potentiation of Prelimbic Cortex Ascribed to Heat-Sensitization Responses of Moxibustion

Cofilin, pCofilin, and PSD-95 immunostaining in PrL of mPFC. (a) Cofilin immunoreactivity was abundant in discrete puncta but was absent from cell bodies (data not shown) and dendrites. (b) PCofilin immunoreactivity puncta were present in smaller numbers compared to those labeled for total cofilin (a). (c) PSD-95 immunoreactivity profiles were numerous. (d) Merged images show that pCofilin immunoreactivity profiles were associated with PSD-95 immunoreactivity puncta. The arrows point to the same sites in (b)–(d) to show spatial relationship and overlap. Scale bar: 5 μm.
