The distribution of VGLUT2 and VGLUT1 in the forebrain. Marked differences are apparent in the distribution, density, and intensity of punctate VGLUT2-ir (A–D) and VGLUT1-ir (E–H) in the neocortex (laminaIV, VI), caudate putamen (CPu), globus pallidum (GP), piriform cortex (Pir), nucleus accumbens core (AcC), nucleus accumbens shell (AcSh), ventral pallidum (VP), olfactory tubercle (Tu), islands of Calleja (ICj), ventral diagonal band (VDB), and lateral septum (LS). In the CPu, VGLUT2 is somewhat less abundant than VGLUT1. VGLUT2 is present in the globus pallidum (GP) (B), where VGLUT1 is virtually absent (F). In piriform cortex (Pir) and islands of Calleja (ICj), punctate VGLUT1-ir is stronger and denser than VGLUT2-ir. Note accumulation of low to moderate VGLUT2-ir in the pyramidal cell layer in C where VGLUT1-ir is scarce (G). Note also some overlap and reciprocity in staining for VGLUT1 and VGLUT2 in the ICj (D, H). Note the absence of VGLUT1-ir and VGLUT2-ir from commissural fiber tracts.cc, Corpus callosum; ac, anterior commissure. Scale bars: A, C, 1 mm;B, D, 500 μm;E–H, 200 μm.
