Schematic representation of the distribution of ERβ mRNA-positive
cells in the forebrain of female and male rats through rostrocaudal
axis. Each dot represents five labeled cells. Numbers at the top of
each panel represent distance from the organum vasculosum of the lamina
terminalis in μm. (Scale = 100 μm.) AC, anterior commissure;
AVPV, anteroventral periventricular nucleus; BST, bed nucleus of the
stria terminals; Fx, fornix; MPN, medial preoptic nucleus; OC, optic
chiasm; SCN, suprachiasmatic nucleus; V3, third ventricle.
