Figure 2

Three-dimensional view of the male and female rat sexually dimorphic nucleus of the preoptic area.

The Stereo Investigation System (MBF Bioscience, Williston, VT) was used to reconstruct these views of the sexually dimorphic nucleus of the preoptic area and its surrounding anatomical structures from seven sequential slices stained with thionin (refer to Figure 1). This figure is from our unpublished data (NCTR/US FDA Protocol P00710). AC: Anterior commissure; 3rd V: 3rd ventricle; SDN-POA: sexually dimorphic nucleus of the preoptic area; SN: suprachiasm nucleus; OX: optic chiasm.
