Regional stereological estimates of VIM-IR and GFAP-IR astrocyte density in the adult human brain. (A) There were significantly more VIM-IR astrocytes in the caudate nucleus than in all other brain regions examined, including the thalamus where VIM-IR astrocytes were mostly absent. (B) All human brain regions included in this study were more densely populated by GFAP-IR astrocytes than by VIM-IR astrocytes. There were also significantly more GFAP-IR astrocytes in either subcortical region than in neocortical areas. **p ≤ 0.01 (n = 8; Matched One-Way ANOVA).
