Transgenic animal counting is from STPT imaging of Oxt-Cre;Ai14 mice (n = 8) and 3D immunolabeling counting is from LSFM imaging of C57 after tissue clearing and 3D Oxt antibody staining (n = 7). Counting data are mean ± SD. Cell counting data from male, virgin female, and lactating females can be found in Extended Data Table 1-1.
