Differential distribution of oestrogen receptor (ER) α and ERβ in the rodent brain. Two coronal planes through the brain (one at bregma and one at −1 mm to bregma for mouse) showing the anatomical distribution of ERα (left) and ERβ (right). Note the overlapping as well as differentially distributed expression of the two ERs. BNST, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis; MPOA, medial preoptic area; MEA, medial amygdala; PeN, periventricular nucleus. Grey shading shows white matter tracts. Adapted with permission (17).
