Distribution of Venus-expressing neurons in the anterior division of the BNST and co-localization of Venus immunofluorescence with Crf mRNA in the dorsolateral BNST. a Photomicrograph showing the Venus-expressing neurons in the anterior division of the BNST. White dashed lines indicate the boundaries of the subnuclei in the anterior BNST. LV, lateral ventricle; ovBNST, oval nucleus of the BNST; alBNST, anterolateral BNST; AC, anterior commissure; POA; anterior preoptic area; ic, internal capsule. Scale bar = 200 µm. b Confocal images showing Venus (immunofluorescence, upper left panel) and Crf (fluorescence in situ hybridization, upper right panel) in the dorsolateral BNST. The Venus and Crf are shown as green and red, respectively. The lower left panel shows a merged image of Venus and Crf mRNA. Scale bar = 100 μm
