Fig. 3

Dot plots showing stereological findings in the superior cervical ganglion (SCG) in different groups. a The total volume of SCG in different groups. The chronic sleep deprivation (CSD) significantly reduced the SCG volume and treatment with curcumin did not significantly improve this change. b The total number of neurons of SCG. The CSD non-significantly decreased this parameter and treatment with curcumin significantly improved this change. c The total number of satellite glial cells of SCG was significantly decreased in the CSD group in comparison with the control group and treatment with curcumin, although improved this change, however, it was not significant. The lines over each dot plot represent mean ± SEM (standard error of the mean)
