Figure 7. Three weeks BrdU injections to animals with bacteriologically cleared meningitis, BrdU incorporating cells were counted in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus to quantify cell survival.

(A, B) Representative image of a mock-infected animal receiving NaCl shows sporadic presence of BrdU positive cells. (C, D) A mock-infected animal treated with LiCl for 3 weeks shows enhanced presence of BrdU positive cells in the DG. (BrdU, Bromodeoxyuridine; DAPI, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole).
