Fig. 7. Retrograde tracing in the mesencephalic dopaminergic (mesDA) system and
double labeling by Pitx3 immunohistochemistry. (A) Retrograde tracing in the
control brain. The left two panels (FG) show the fluorogold label in the
traced neurons in the mesDA system. The middle two panels (FG/Pitx3)
show the double labeling. The arrow indicates one of the double labeled mesDA
neurons. The right two panels (Pitx3) show the labeling by Pitx3 alone. The
lower two panels show the injection site (right) and a schematic
representation indicating the injection site (arrows). (B) Retrograde tracing
in the ak mutant brain. The left panel represents the injection
position. The right panel shows a neuron (arrow) in the VTA region that was
traced by injection in the dorsal striatum.
