Figure 11. Brain nuclei containing neurons expressing Brn3c in the Brn3cCre/WT; ROSA26tdTomato/WT mouse.

Figure 11

Coronal sections through adult Brn3cCre/WT; ROSA26tdTomato/WT mouse brains illustrate nuclei with tdTomato positive cell bodies. Stippled lined insets in b–e are shown below each panel at higher magnification. (a1) anterior pretectal nucleus. (a2) precommissural nucleus. (b1) anterior pretectal nucleus, caudal part. (b2) ‘Drury’ nucleus/deep mesencephalic nucleus (DpMe). (b3) interstitial nucleus of Cajal. (b4) lateral periaqueductal gray nucleus (LPAG). (b5) dorsolateral PAG (DLPAG). (b6, c5) dorsomedial PAG (DMPAG). (b7, c4, c6) deep layers of the superior colliculus (SC). (b8, c7) intermediate gray/white layers of the superior colliculus (SC). (c1) brachium/external cortex of the inferior colliculus (IC). (c2) microcellular tegmental nucleus/IC. (c3) ‘Drury’ nucleus/lateral PAG. (d1) inferior colliculus. Brain scale bars: 500 microns. Small nuclei scale bar: 50 microns.
