Figure 1A

Color photomicrograph illustrating a small CTb injection apparently limited to the ventral part of the LC (RLC16). The section has been counterstained with TH-immunohistochemistry (in brown) to help delineate the border of the LC. Note that the site did not substantially encroached on the lamina between the LC and the ventricle or the MVe region just lateral to the LC.
