The distribution of VGLUT2 and VGLUT1 in the lower brainstem. Moderate abundance of fine punctate VGLUT2-ir in superficial spinal trigeminal nucleus (Sp5) marked byarrowheads (A, G) is observed where VGLUT1-ir is virtually absent (B,H, arrowheads). VGLUT2 is moderately abundant in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (10), hypoglossal nucleus (12), and reticular formation (Rt), and in the ventral part of the solitary tract (SolV) (A, C,E) where VGLUT1 is virtually absent (B,D, F). VGLUT2-ir is very low in the dorsal solitary tract (SolD). Note preponderance of VGLUT1 in deep Sp5 (B, F,H), in the cuneate (Cu), and in gracile nucleus (GR) where VGLUT2-ir is low.Asterisks mark the central canal. Scale bars:A, B, 500 μm; C,D, 200 μm; E, F, 100 μm; G, H, 100 μm.
