From: VGLUT1 or VGLUT2 mRNA-positive neurons in spinal trigeminal nucleus provide collateral projections to both the thalamus and the parabrachial nucleus in rats

Fig. 9

CGRP-positive terminals have close contacts with collateral projection neurons in the Vc superficial layer. TMR was injected into the right VPM and Po of the thalamus, and FG was injected into the left PBN in three rats (R4, R7, and R13, Fig. 2). TMR, FG and CGRP immunoreactivity in the superficial layer of the Vc are visualized with Alexa 594 (red), Alexa 647 (blue) and fluorescein (green), respectively. The boxed area in (b) is magnified in (c-f). The arrows in f indicate that some CGRP-LI axonal terminals are in close contact with TMR/FG double-labeled cell body or dendritic profiles. Scale bar 200 μm (in a and b); 20 μm (in c-f)
