Figure 5. Histology of developing ferret brain.

Figure 5

Coronal brain slices were obtained and selectively stained at postnatal day (P) 6, 17 and adult. Neuronal cell bodies were marked by Nissl staining (darker areas in a1, b1, and c1), while myelinated and unmyelinated axons (indicated by arrowheads) were stained by MBP (myelin based protein) and SMI312 (neurofilament marker) immunoreactivity, respectively. Indicated rectangles are relative regions where axon staining is shown. Regions of cortex, subplate, subcortical white matter (WM), and deep grey matter (dGM) are labelled.
