Landmarks and dimensions of POm projections. (A) Fluorescence image of POm projection pattern in a TC section. The POm projections form 2 POm innervation bands, POm band1 (closer to the SCWM), and POm band2 (underneath pia). Distances measured for C are indicated as red lines: pia–SCWM, pia-band1hi, pia-band1lo, and pia-band2lo. Scale bar 1 mm. (B) Fluorescence image of POm projection pattern in a tangential section at 900 μm depth. Anatomical landmarks used were the outlines of hollows to determine the cross-sectional area and the mean distances between the centers of hollows as indicated by red lines. Scale bar 1 mm. (C) Distances between landmarks of POm projections (n = 5). Mean distances: pia–SCWM 1977 μm (range 1908–2042 μm), pia-band1hi 834 μm (range 780–914 μm), pia-band1lo 1031 μm (range 996–1116 μm), and pia - band2 116 μm (range 106–140). (D) Cross-sectional area of the D1, D2, and D3 hollows (ANOVA, P = 0.02; Tukey, P < 0.05). (E) Center-to-center distance between 4 of the hollows surrounding D2.
