Light microscopic images taken from Araldite embedded vibratome sections showing immunolabeling of vGluT1 in the somatosensory thalamus [ventroposterior (VP) nucleus and thalamic reticular nucleus (RTN)] of ipsilateral (a) and contralateral (b) sides of the brain in a mouse model of PVL. c is a high magnification image taken from VP showing the area lacking vGluT1 labeling in the ipsilateral side. d is a high magnification image taken from VP of the contralateral side showing clusters of vGluT1 labeled profiles among neuropils. e is a much higher power image showing the labeled profiles including presynaptic boutons. f Light microscopic image showing the lack of vGluT1 labeling in the RTN region of the ipsilateral side; note some nonspecifically labeled somata in the region. g Light microscopic image showing vGluT1 labeled small boutons and profiles in the RTN of the contralateral side. h A high power light microscopic image showing clusters of vGluT1 labeled profiles in the RTN
