Differential distribution of Venus-expressing neurons in dorsolateral BNST and calbindin-positive neurons in the principal nucleus of the BNST in the mouse. a A diagram illustrating the cytoarchitecture of the anterior and posterior divisions of the BNST in coronal sections. LV, lateral ventricle; ic, internal capsule; AC, anterior commissure. The area in red shows the dorsolateral BNST, blue the anterodorsal BNST, green the ventral division of the BNST, and yellow the principal nucleus of the BNST. b Photomicrographs showing double immunofluorescence for Venus-expressing neurons (green) and calbindin-positive neurons (red) in the dorsolateral BNST. c Photomicrographs showing Venus-expressing neurons (green) and calbindin-positive neurons (red) in the principal nucleus. The right-most panels show the merged images of Venus-expressing and calbindin-positive neurons. Scale bar = 100 μm
