Fig. 4.
Representative micrograph images of neuronal tracer dextran staining of the trigeminal ganglion and facial nucleus in a Sprague–Dawley (SD) rat. A, B: Trigeminal ganglion was harvested at 2 days after dextran staining. The neuron cell bodies were stained by dextran applied on the dIoN at the same site as for CCI. (A: 4x, B: 20x) C, D: At 7 days after applying dextran on the dIoN at the same site as for CCI, dextran staining was not observed in the neuron cell bodies in the facial nucleus. Highlighted area in C: facial nucleus. (C: 4x, D: 10x)
