CRF content in CeM/SLEAc/BSTL projections to the DA cells. (a) Representative example of CRF (red) and tracer labeling (green) in the BSTLP demonstrating the dense concentration of CRF neurons. Populations of single-labeled CRF cells (white asterisks), tracer-only labeled cells (white arrow) and dual labeled cells were found (white arrow head) in both the BSTL and CeN. High power images were assessed for quantification, before (b) and after (c) deconvolution. (d) Quantitative analysis of the proportion of CRF/tracer double-labeled cells in BSTL and CeN showed no significant difference. (e) Quantitative analysis of CRF/tracer labeled cells in BSTL (blue dots) and CeN (red dots) following injections into PBP or A8 showed no significant differences. Scale bar, 50 μm (a); 25 μm (b, c).
