a 3D renderings of Cx3cr1 microglial cell density from representative Cx3cr1-eGFP(+/−) samples registered to age-matched epDevAtlas. b Microglial (Cx3cr1) cell type growth chart c–f Representative STPT images of Cx3cr1 microglia in the corpus callosum (cc), d the cerebellum, e the caudopatamen, and f the hippocampus. Inset images in (d-e) are high magnification images from magenta-colored boxed areas. g–j Averaged Cx3cr1 microglial density in (g) white matter, specifically the corpus callosum and arbor vitae of the cerebellum, h telencephalic regions, i diencephalic regions, and j midbrain and hindbrain regions. Data are reported as mean ± s.d. (shaded area between error bars). See Source Data for Cx3cr1 microglial cell counts, density, volume measurements, and abbreviations, all of which are provided as a Source Data file.
