Fig. 1

A low magnification view of substantia nigra as revealed by TH-ir. The main subdivisions are pars compacta (SNc) and pars reticulata (SNr). The former consists of a mixture of large perikarya and dendrites, whereas SNr is largely free of DAergic cell bodies but contains abundant TH-ir dendrites with a primarily vertical orientation. Scale bar is 50 µm.
