Schematic drawings of a rat brain at several coronal levels accompanied (to the right of the drawings) by the identical level showing autoradiography images after performing in situ hybridization to detect the mRNA encoding VR1. The drawings are based on the atlas of M. Palkovits and M. J. Brownstein [(1988) Maps and Guide to Microdissection of the Rat Brain (Elsevier, New York)].
