Carbocyanine Dye Usage in Demarcating Boundaries of the Aged Human Red Nucleus
Figure 4
Human magnocellular red nucleus.
The area indicated by a broken line is the outer shell of the rostral part of the magnocellular red nucleus outside the parvicellular red nucleus. It lies between the capsule of the superior cerebellar peduncle and the parabrachial pigmented nucleus. The black arrowheads indicate giant neurons. Black and white arrowheads indicate pigmented large neurons. Figs. 4–7, 9 and 10 correspond to rostrocaudally arranged serial sections. Each interval is 600 µm. The number in the left corner is the rostrocaudal distance (in micrometers) from the rostral tip of the red nucleus. mNr – magnocellular red nucleus, PBP – parabrachial pigmented nucleus, SNc – substantia nigra pars compacta, vlpNr – ventrolateral part of parvicellular red nucleus. Scale bar = 100 µm.
