Figure 1

Dcx+ cells in the lateral striatum (LS). (A–B) Perspective (A) and top (B) views of a 3D reconstruction of the adult guinea pig brain showing the SVZ (green), the dorsal striatum (pink), the anterior commissure (gray), the striatal tract of the external capsule (anterior: violet; posterior: maroon). This reconstruction was produced with Reconstruct through coronal sections available from the University of Wisconsin and Michigan State Comparative Mammalian Brain Collections (www.brainmuseum.org). (C) Scheme of a single coronal section of the guinea pig brain, about 300 micrometer rostral to the decussation of the anterior commissure. (D,E) DCX staining in a coronal section of the LS. DCX positive cells can be organized either as individual (asterisk) or clustered (arrowheads) elements. In addition, several cell processes, often fascicled (arrow), can be observed. Dotted lines indicate the approximate limits of two internal capsule fiber bundles associated with fascicled DCX processes. (F–F“) Double labeling for MAG and DCX showing the close association between fascicles of DCX+ processes and internal capsule fiber bundles (arrowhead). Orientation Bars: Gray line: medial; cyan line: dorsal; dark line: rostral. BV: blood vessel; Cl: claustrum; dPSB: dorsal pallial subpallial boundary; vPSB: ventral pallial subpallial boundary; EC: external capsule; Str: Striatum; Scale bars: 80 μm in (D); 20 μm in (E); 50 μm in (F–F“).
