Figure 5. OXTR distribution in the rhesus macaque brain.

Figure 5

Receptor autoradiography results using 125I-OVTA alone (A) and 125I-OVTA plus 10 nM SR49059 (B) aligned with in situ hybridization results for OXTR mRNA (C) in six representative individuals at six different levels (rows). White arrows indicate areas of specific OXTR expression based on a visual comparison of the results from in situ hybridization (C) and competitive binding (B). Scale bar = 5mm. Abbreviations: III, oculomotor nucleus; NBM, nucleus basalis of Meynert; PPT, pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus; SuG, superficial gray layer of the superior colliculus; TB, trapezoid body; VMH, ventromedial hypothalamus; Sp5, spinal trigeminal nucleus
