Data for α3 mRNA-positive neurons coexpressing immunoreactivity for indicated analyte represent counts from three entire sections (one from each of three animals).
Data for α4 mRNA-positive neurons coexpressing immunoreactivity for indicated analyte, represent counts from three entire sections (one from each of three animals).
Data for α6 mRNA-positive neurons coexpressing immunoreactivity for indicated analyte represent counts from three entire sections (one from each of three animals).
Data are expressed as mean ± SD.
