Statistical analysis of the effects of the three vestibular deafferentations on the BrdU, GFAP and GAD immunolabellings at the cellular level.

Repeated-measure analysis of variance of the number of BrdU-, GFAP- and GAD67-positive cells in the vestibular nuclei. Group (unilateral vestibular neurectomized cats versus unilateral vestibular labyrinthectomized cats versus tetrodotoxine cats), vestibular nuclei (MVN, medial vestibular nuclei; IVN, inferior vestibular nuclei; LVN, lateral vestibular nuclei and SVN, superior vestibular nuclei) and side (intact versus deafferented) are the main fixed effects providing the sources of variation among cats (*). df: degree of freedom; F: Scheffé's test; P: Probability level.
