  1. Binding studies conducted on mice euthanatized 9 days after injury. Data is expressed as mean ± SD of μCi/mg of wet tissue. * represents significant changes compared to the uninjured hemisphere; † represents significant changes compared to the corresponding hemisphere of the COX-2 +/+ animals. CA1, CA1 region of the hippocampus; CTX, cortex; DLG, dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus; LPM, lateral posterior nucleus; DG, dentate gyrus; VPL/VPM, ventral posteriolateral/medial thalamic nucleus.
