Figure 3. Distribution and numbers of MesV neurons. (A,B) Examples of localization of MesV neurons in naïve control (A) and MesV-lesioned animals (B). Each dot indicates location of a MesV neuron. (C,D) Nissl-stained sections obtained from naïve control (C) and MesV-lesioned animals (D). (E) Distribution of cell bodies of MesV neurons in 6 naïve controls (open columns) and 7 MesV-lesioned animals (filled columns). Bars on the symbols indicate SEM. Note that about 70% of neurons are coagulated throughout the MesV. (F) The numbers of MesV neurons in naïve controls (N = 6) and MesV-lesioned animals (N = 7). The horizontal bars show the mean of each group.
