Figure 4

Representative images illustrating DCX+ cellular profiles in the forebrain in a 2 years-old Chinese tree shrew. Panel (A) shows the labeling in the olfactory bulb (OB) and rostral migratory stream (RMS) at four coronal levels, noting the open olfactory ventricle (OV) inside the bulb. Panel (B) shows the labeled cells densely packed at the subventricular zone (SVZ), with migrating granule cells from the subependymal zone (SEZ) to the granule cell layer (GCL). Panel (C) shows labeled cells in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG), which are developing granule cells primarily resided along the subgranular zone (SGZ) (D). Panels (E,F) show DCX+ immature neurons localized selectively in the piriform cortex (Pir) over layer II, but not in the adjoining temporal neocortex. Panels (G–I) show high power views of DCX+ neurons in the piriform cortex and amygdala (Amyg), which are remarkably heterogeneous in somal size, shape, and labeling intensity. Other abbreviations are as defined in Figures 13. Scale bars are as indicated.
