FIGURE 1.

Distribution of WFA-labeled PNNs in the mouse hypothalamus. Representative fluorescent microscopic images showing WFA-labeled PNNs (green) and DAPI counterstaining (purple) in a series of coronal brain sections at the level of –0.82 mm (A), –1.34 mm (B), –1.58 mm (C) and –1.82 mm (D) relative to the Bregma. Scale bars = 200 μm. AH, the anterior hypothalamus; ARH, the arcuate hypothalamic nucleus; DMH, the dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus; LH, the lateral hypothalamus; PeFAH, the perifornical area of the anterior hypothalamus; PVH, the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus; TE, the terete hypothalamic nucleus; VMH, the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus.
