Dendritic localization of FMRP immunoreactivity in the gerbil MSO. The first (A and D) and second (B and E) columns are single channels of MAP2 and FMRP immunostaining, respectively, while the most right column (C and F) contains merged images. A–C illustrate the overlap of FMRP immunoreactivity with MAP2-stained dendritic branches. Dendritic FMRP forms clusters that are distributed along dendritic branches, with high concentrations at branch points (large arrowhead) and enlarged distal tips (arrow). The small arrowheads indicate a dendritic swelling that displays strong staining for FMRP. No branching was detected from the location of this swelling within the section. D–F is an example of dendritic branches that contain intense FMRP immunoreactivity both along the main shaft (small arrows) and at the enlarged distal tip (large arrow). Scale bar = 10 μm in C (applies to A–C); 10 μm in F (applies to D–F).
