Figure 12

Low-power dark-field micrographs from two different rostrocaudal levels of the median eminence (ME) showing the effect of LPS treatment on D2 gene expression in the MBH. A–B, Controls; C–D, LPS-treated animals. Silver grains denoting D2 mRNA are accumulated over cells lining the wall of the third ventricle (III), the tuberoinfundibular sulci (arrow heads), and accumulate in the external zone of the ME. After LPS administration, the density of silver grains denoting D2 mRNA is markedly increased, particularly in the external zone of the ME (C–D).
