Figure 7.

Sagittal histology sections of a mouse with high sociability (sniffing time = 115 s) (a–c) and one with low sociability (sniffing time = 8 s) (d–e). They were stained using Kluver-Barrera method in which Luxol fast blue stains myelin and Cresyl violet (Nissl) stains neurons. The images in (b) and (e) correspond to the black boxes in (a) and (d), respectively. Likewise, the images in (c) and (f) are from the boxes in (b) and (e), respectively. The red block arrow in (e) indicates a region with darker staining of Luxol fast blue which could be due to abnormal myelination or increased collagen in extracellular space that is often stained by Luxol fast blue. The thin red arrow in (f) indicates a cell with a large vesicular nucleus. The nucleoli seem densely concentrated and appear as dark dots.
