Figure 4

Dark-field photomicrograph to show the distribution of 5-HT 1A receptor mRNA expression in the vicinity of the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) (A). Dashed line defines the nuclear border of the PVH to emphasize the absence of the transcript relative to the distinct cluster of 5-HT 1A receptor expressing cells within the zona incerta (ZI). Scatterplot (B) showing a significant positive correlation between plasma estradiol concentrations and 5-HT 1A mRNA levels in the ZI of females. 3V: 3rd ventricle.
