The immunohistochemical staining of the nAChR α4 in the hippocampal CA2 output cortex. The nAChR α4 immunoreactive cells were marked by arrowhead a in 400X and the counts of nAChR α4 immunoreactive cells were increased in 2VO + 15-Hz ES group; b nAChR α4 subtype was recognized in the hippocampal CA2 output cortex. (75 X 75 μm, scale bar = 50 μm); c Data represent mean ± SD in the counts of nAChR α4 immunoreactive cells (n = 6); d The levels of nAChR α4 were increased in western blot analysis in 2VO + 15-Hz ES group; e Data represent mean ± SD in the western blot levels of nAChR α4 (n = 3); *P < 0.05
