Figure 1.
The location of TWIK-related acid-sensitive potassium channel 1 and 3 (TASK1 and 3)-positive cells in the ventrolateral medulla (VLM) of SD rats. (A) TASK1-positive cells were located in the VLM of rats. (B,C) represent high-power visual fields of the area shown in (A), showing a detailed view of TASK1-positive cells in the VLM. (D) TASK3-positive cells in the VLM of rats. (E,F) represent high-power visual fields of the area shown in (D), showing a detailed view of TASK3-positive cells in the VLM. (G) Coronal diagram of the rat medulla; the area shown in black represents the distribution of TASK1 and TASK3. Cell morphology is indicated by the arrows shown in (C,F). (H–I) Negative control. Scale bar: 200 μm (A,D,H,I); 80 μm (B,E) and 20 μm (C,F).
