Fig. 4. CARTp-immunoreactivity in the mesencephalon and
rhombencephalon. A: Pretectal region. Note heavy staining of neurons
in the central thalamic nucleus (C). B: Optic tectum. Note stained
cells in layer 9 and intense fiber staining in the periventricular layers
(pvl). C: Immunostained fibers and cells in the optic tectum (tect) and
the magnocellular nucleus (mt) of the torus semicircularis. D: Sagittal
section of the mesencephalon and the rhombencephalon. Note intense
fiber staining in the tectum and fasciculus retroflexus (arrow), and
heavily stained neurons in the central thalamic nucleus (C). E: Intense
fiber staining in the isthmic region. Note that the isthmic (Is)
and the interpeduncular (Ip) nuclei are free of immunostaining.
F: Stained cells and fibers in the superior raphe nucleus (r). aq,
cerebral aqueduct; cer, cerebellum; cg, central gray; Lpv, lateral thalamic
nucleus, posteroventral division; P, posterior thalamic nucleus;
Pn, pretectal neuropil; Pv, posteroventral tegmental nucleus; 4th,
fourth ventricle. For other abbreviations, see list. Scale bar 300 m
in A; 100 m in B,F; 200 m in C,E; 500 m in D. |
