Panel A displays the nestin-delineated subventricular zone (SVZ), which served as an internal positive control. Images in series B were acquired from a PND21 male rat and images in series C were taken from an adult male (PND110) rat, demonstrating the nestin-positive region/cells (red label) that extended into the parenchyma of the hypothalamus (∼0.1 mm or more from the ventricular wall) at the rostral end of the 3^rd ventricle, namely the 3^rd ventricle stem cell niche (3VSCN). Distance between the 2 adjacent brain slices is 90 µm. SVZ, subventricular zone; OC, optic chiazma 3V, the 3rd ventricle; blue labelings, DAPI-staining.
