Quantitation of peripheral bFGF effects on mitotic nuclei within the anterior olfactory nucleus (AON) and the forebrain SVZ (FB-SVZ) in adult rats. Peripheral bFGF more than doubled the number of mitotic nuclei within both regions; this effect was equivalent in both regions, and no anatomical gradient in effect was observed (3-way ANOVA; no significant interactions of region and/or anatomical zone with treatment). Data represent counts taken from at least five sections from each of three rats within each treatment group and region [*p < 0.0001;F_(1,5) = 35.7].
