Gp120 immunoreactivity was determined in serial sections throughout the brain using a gp120 specific antibody (see Methods). FR and DiI were used to confirm retrograde and anterograde transport, respectively. Brain areas indicated above are identified as described in Paxinos and Watson (1986). + denotes relative abundance of gp120 immunoreactivity in each area.
