Figure 3

Acetylcholine containing neurons are found throughout the lateral hypothalamus. (A) ACh-positive neurons (yellow/green circles) and ACh-positive projections (green, yellow/green shading; green represents highest density) are distributed throughout the LH. Some ACh-positive neurons are also found in the Arc. (B) ACh-positive neurons identified by VAChT (vesicular ACh transport) immunoreactivity and MCH-positive neurons (red—MCH immunoreactivity) are interspersed. (C) VAChT-positive bouton-like structures (red/brown immunostaining) are present in the perifornical region of the LH.
