Figure 3. Distribution of synapsins and vGLUTs in the dLGN.

Figure 3

Tree shrew dLGN tissue was labeled with antibodies against synapsin I or II (purple), and vGLUT1 or 2 (green). Profiles that are labeled with two antibodies appear white. Representative confocal images (single 0.2 µm scan with a 100x objective) are illustrated. Corticogeniculate terminals (RS profiles labeled with the vGLUT1 antibody) contain synapsin I (A), but not synapsin II (C). Retinogeniculate terminals (RL profiles labeled with the vGLUT2 antibody) do not contain either synapsin I (B) or synapsin II (D). Scale  =  10 µm.
