Figure 5

Camera lucida drawings of 3 rostral-to-caudal levels of the mouse hypothalamus illustrate the distribution of cells positive for β-gal alone (white dots) or β-gal and hrGFP (red dots) in 4 successful cases (LepRb-Cre-LacZ mice). Each dot represents one positive neuron. The ratio of cells positive for hrGFP over the total number of β-gal-positive neurons is indicated next to each brain section (except when no colocalization was observed). Note that the number of hrGFP-positive neurons is more important in the ventral part of the medial DMH in all cases, whereas it considerably varies in the rostral and posterior DMH. Abbreviations: 3v, third ventricle; Arc, arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus; DM, rostral part of the dorsomedial nucleus of the hypothalamus; DMD, dorsal part of the dorsomedial nucleus of the hypothalamus; DMV, ventral part of the dorsomedial nucleus of the hypothalamus; f, fornix; VMH, ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus.
