Preserved cellular architecture and number of GABAergic neurons in the thalamic RT 6 weeks after CA compared with sham insult (Sh). A, Coronal section through the somatosensory thalamus demonstrating GAD65+ GABAergic neurons in the RT of a sham-operated rat. B, RT architecture is preserved after CA. C, GAD65+ neurons in RT were counted in sham (n = 5 rats, 7–9 slices/rat) and CA rats (n = 4 rats, 7–9 slices/rat). Data represent the average number of GAD65+ RT cells/30 μm slice. No attempt was made to estimate true cell density. VPm, ventral posterior medial nucleus; IC, internal capsule. Scale bars: A (for A, B), 500 μm (low-power images); 100 μm (high-power images).
