(A, B) Relative percentages of DβH-positive varicosities along the rostrocaudal extent of the VTA and RRF in normal monkeys. (C) Comparison of the estimated density of DβH-positive varicosities (means ± SD) in the various ventral midbrain dopaminergic cells groups (SNCv, SNCd, VTA, RRF) and the STN between control and MPTP-treated parkinsonian monkeys.* P < 0.001 for differences between control, and MPTP-treated animals by using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test.
