Figure 5From: Bcl-2 over-expression fails to prevent age-related loss of calretinin positive neurons in the mouse dentate gyrusSpatial distribution of CR positive cells in the dentate gyrus of NSE73a transgenic mice. In the dentate gyrus of 2 month-old mice, the number of CR positive cells distributed at the SGZ was much higher in the septal region (A) that in the temporal region (B) of the dentate gyrus, and the number of the hilular CR positive cells was much higher in the temporal region than in the septal region. The same distribution pattern held in the dentate gyrus of 24 month-old mice although the number of CR positive cells at both hilus and SGZ was less that the number in 2 month-old mice. The whole calibration bar is 25 μm.Back to article page
