Figure 6From: Non-invasive evaluation of nigrostriatal neuropathology in a proteasome inhibitor rodent model of Parkinson's diseaseLactacystin lesioning does not result in loss of striatal medium spiny neurons. (A) Whole brain photomicrogaphs of NeuN and DARPP-32+ cells in the striatum of saline and lactacystin lesioned animals (×1.5 magnification, scale bar = 500 μm). (B) Higher magnification of NeuN+ and DARPP-32+ cells in the striatum of saline and lactacystin injected animals, respectively. (×40 magnification, scale bar = 20 μm). Note the enlarged ventricles in lactacystin-injected animals (asterisks in A).Back to article page
