Figure 3. DMH-NPY projections to the PVH in lactating rats.

Figure 3

(A) 20x confocal image showing BDA (magenta) and NPY (green) fiber distribution in the PVH. (B) BDA fiber distribution in 40x confocal image. Arrows indicate BDA/ NPY co-localized fiber. (C) NPY fiber distribution in 40x confocal image. Arrows indicate BDA/NPY co-localized fiber. (D) Overlay of 40x confocal images showing BDA/NPY co-localized fiber. Schematic drawings show the distribution of BDA fibers co-localized with NPY in the PVH of lactating (E) and cycling (F) rat. Projections from 3 different cases with injections limited to the DMH are represented in different colors (red, blue and black).
