Distribution of CRFR1-GFP-ir cells in the developing mouse forebrain. Density and intensity of CRFR1-GFP-ir was rated visually during developmental periods P0, P4, and P21, as having −, No label; +/−, minimal but still noticeable labeling intensity/density of cells; +, low labeling intensity/density of cells; ++, moderate labeling intensity/cell density; +++, high labeling intensity/cell density; ++++, very high labeling intensity/cell density
