Figure 8

Purkinje cell degeneration at mild and moderate levels of severity of cerebellar injury (15 psi and 25 psi). (A–C) Representative confocal images show CalbindinD28k labeled PCs (A) and the absence of FluoroJade C staining (B) in the same section from a naïve rat (D–F). Images of a section from a rat 1 week after mild injury (15 psi) shows CalbindinD28k positive Purkinje cells (D) and the presence of a few FluoroJade C labeled cellular profiles (arrowheads in E). Merged image (F) shows that CalbindinD28k positive Purkinje cells are co-labeled with FluoroJade C (arrowheads) (G–I). Representative section from a rat 1 week after moderate injury (25 psi) shows CalbindinD28k positive Purkinje cells (G) and extensive cellular (arrowheads) and axonal (asterisk) FluoroJade C labeling (H). Merged image (I) shows numerous CalbindinD28k positive PCs labeled with FluoroJade C (arrowheads). Scale bar: 100 µm.
