The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article because of anomalies in the images of brain sections presented in Figure 2a, namely:

7 panels in Figure 2a appear to be the same as panels in Figure 2a of a previous article [1]

2 panels in Figure 2a appear to be the same as panels in Figure 2a of a previous article [2]

2 panels in Figure 2a appear to be the same as panels in Figure 2a and 1 panel appears to be the same as a panel in Figure 3a of a previous article [3]

5 panels in Figure 2a appear to be the same as panels in Figure 2C of a previous article [4] The Editors-in-Chief therefore no longer have confidence in the results and conclusions presented. Pallab Bhattacharya, Anand Kumar Pandey, Sudip Paul and Ranjana Patnaik disagree with this retraction.
