In the vesicular gamma-amino butyric acid transporter (VGAT)-Venus C57BL/6 mouse strain, wisteria floribunda agglutinin (WFA)-labeled perineuronal nets (PNNs) are absent in the medial geniculate body (MGB), ventrobasal complex (VB), and lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), although abundant in the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN): (A) epifluorescent image of VGAT-positive neurons (green) in each of the main sensory thalamic nuclei (MGB, VB, LGN) and the TRN; (B) epifluorescent image of WFA-labeled PNNs (red) in the sensory thalamic nuclei (MGB, VB, LGN) and the TRN; and (C–D) higher-magnification image of the MGB from A–B.
