Adult male C57BL6/J mice (n = 5) were examined using DIG-incorporated riboprobes complementary to mouse ppGal and GalR1 mRNA by ISH. All anatomical areas listed are according to the atlas of Franklin and Paxinos (Paxinos and Franklin, 2004). −, not expressed; +, scattered sparsely; ++, expressed by 1/3 of the neurons in the area; +++, expressed by > 1/3 of the neurons in the area; n/a, not available.
