Figure 2From: The somatostatinergic system in the mammalian cochleaSST1 in the adult mouse cochlea. A, overview, SST1 (red) can be observed in the OC and SG; cell nuclei (DAPI) are in blue. B, SST1 (red) can be detected in outer HCs, inner HCs, and outer and inner pillar cells. C, D, labeling with the neurofilament marker SMI31 (green) demonstrates that cochlear afferent neurons (CANs), which connect the SG with the OC, do not express SST1; cell nuclei (DAPI) are in blue. (A) Image by immunofluorescence microscopy, scale bar = 50 μm. (B-D) Images by confocal microscopy, scale bar = 25 μm.Back to article page
