Cranial irradiation inhibits cellular proliferation and neurogenesis in the rat hippocampus. Confocal micrographs of hippocampal sections labeled with BrdU (red), DCX (green), GFAP (green) and NeuN (green). (A and B) Proliferating cells labeled with BrdU. (C and D) Immature neurons labeled with BrdU and DCX. (E and F) Differentiated astrocytes labeled with BrdU and GFAP. (G and H) Recently-divided mature neurons labeled with BrdU and NeuN. All histograms represent the mean ± SEM. *P<0.05 and **P<0.01. BrdU, 5-bromodeoxyuridine; DCX, doublecortin; GFAP, glial fibrillary acidic protein; NeuN, neuronal nuclei. Green: (C) DCX, (E) GFAP, and (G) NeuN; Red: BrdU.
