Expression of ERβ2 in the diencephalon. A–C: Atlas images for ERβ2 localization illustrated in D–F. Sections vertically aligned are at similar levels. Inset in the upper left corner of each panel is a lower magnification view of the region from which the larger image was taken. D–F: In the hypothalamus, robust ERβ2 label is found in the anterior tuberal nucleus (AT), with more modest expression in periventricular dorsal (Hd) and ventral (Hv) nuclei. Strong ERβ2 staining also occurs in the periventricular posterior tuberal nucleus (TPp) of the posterior tuberculum and the posterior tuberal nucleus (TP). TPp possesses both strong staining of cell bodies as well as more generally in cells projecting inward from the ventricle. A–C modified from Forlano et al. (2010). Scale bar in A represents 500 μm in A,B; 400 μm in C; 100 μm in magnified images in D–F. Scale bar in inset of D represents 200 μm in all inset images.
