Brain regions of interest analyzed. Coronal, Luxol fast blue stained, hemisections of the cerebral hemisphere at the level of the frontal (A) and temporal (B) lobe and section of cerebellum (C). Squares indicate areas analyzed for histopathology. Measurements of neuronal density were made in subcortical white matter (WM) and CA1 region of the hippocampus. Myelin integrity evaluated in periventricular WM and subcortical WM. Vascular density and apoptotic bodies quantified in periventricular WM and subcortical WM and gray matter. External granular layer measured in cerebellar sections. EGL, External granular layer; GM, gray matter.
