Looking at Fig. 3a and 3b, how do you know that 3a has a significant difference and that Fig. 3b does not? In the euthyroid HT induces ultrastructure changes in frontal synapses section of the results section the authors wrote “Quantitatively, the ultrastructure of the frontal lobe neurons revealed lower synaptic density (Fig. 5c), fewer presynaptic vesicles (Fig. 5d), shorter active zone length (Fig. 5e), thinner postsynaptic densities (Fig. 5g), and decreased synaptic curvature (Fig. 5h) in the HT mice compared with those in the Con mice.”  Based on this quote would you expect nerve transmission to be faster or slower in HT mice?

synaptic interface; V represents synaptic vesicles; the synaptic active zone is indicated by white arrows; SC represents the synaptic cleft; PSD is indicated by
black arrowheads. c-h Quantitation of the synaptic interface, including synapse density (c), number of vesicles (d), active zone length (e), synaptic cleft (f),
