Fig. 2.
SVZ neurogenesis is not affected by P2X7 antagonist or agonist injections. BrdU-positive cells of are shown in coronal sections through the SVZ of adult C57BL/6 mice treated with saline (a), BBG (b), and BzATP (c). CC corpus callosum, LV lateral ventricle, STR striatum. Scale bar: 250 μm. The number of BrdU-positive SVZ cells counted by unbiased stereology was not affected by 3-day BBG or BzATP injections compared to vehicle injections in C57BL/6 mice (d, e, n=4 each group) or Balb/c mice (f, g, n=6 each group)
