Basal dendritic length was comparable in WT, Shank3-Het, and Shank3-KO. Examples of dendritic reconstructions from Lucifer-Yellow filled layer II–III pyramidal neurons in the mPFC of a WT, b Shank3-Het, and c Shank3-KO rat. Scale bar = 50 µm. d Mean dendritic length was comparable among the three genotypes. Sholl analysis at 30-µm intervals from the soma revealed no changes in e dendritic length and f number of intersections among the three genotypes. WT, wild-type; Het, Shank3 heterozygotes; KO, Shank3 knockouts
