Figure 1

Met-enkephalin-IR and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are upregulated in parallel in the hippocampus of Bassoon mutants. BDNF (red)/met-enk (green) co-labeling in coronal hippocampal sections (CA3) from adult wild-type (WT) mice (A,C,E) and Bsn-mutants (B,D,F). Note the concurrent upregulation of (B) BDNF and (D) Met-enk in SL of Bsn-mutants compared to WT (A,C). High resolution view of SL reveals an increased proportion of BDNF- and Met-enk-double-labeled MFBs in (H) Bsn-mutant compared to (G) WT mice. Nuclei are labeled with DAPI (blue). Scale bars: A–F: 100 μm; G,H: 10 μm. Abbreviations: PCL, pyramidal cell layer of CA3; SL, stratum lucidum; SR, stratum radiatum.
