Table 1.
Number and (percentage, in parentheses) of TPH2-immunopositive neurons in different nuclei (top) and different anterior-posterior locations (bottom) that were infected by rabies virus. Data from each animal are shown in a separate column. Values were generated from bilateral counts of labeled cells.
