Figure 3

NPCL in the SPZ of the amygdala. This figure displays the medial, anterior and superior limit of the analyzed area of the temporal lobe (arrows indicate the pial surface). (A), letters B, D and F identify the anatomical location of the corresponding images. Arrowheads in (B) and dotted lines in (C) indicate the NPCL underneath the zone of the endorhinal sulcus surrounding the optic tract (OT) and reaching the SPZ of the amygdala (Amy). Asterisks in (B) to (E) identify the side of the border between the Amy and the OT. Higher magnifications of (B) and (D) are displayed in (C) and (E), respectively, showing the morphology of the NPCs (arrowheads). Following inferiorly, the NPCL is shown in the middle portion of the amygdala. Note that in the amygdala, some NPCs are located deeper than the SPZ, defined here as the zone extending 200 μm beneath the pia mater. BV, blood vessel; HdHc, head of the hippocampus; LV, lateral ventricle; P, pallidum. Scale bars: (B) = 500 μm; (C) to (F) = 50 μm.
