From: Proliferation zones in the axolotl brain and regeneration of the telencephalon
Cells labeled with BrdU after an overnight incubation are largely retained in the ventricular zone throughout the neuraxis, which shows regional variation in proliferative activity. (A-F) Examples of BrdU+ cells in the VZ of different brain regions show variation in numbers of labeled cells. Regions of the brain are marked. In D and F, BrdU+ cells are marked with red arrowheads. (G) Counts of proliferating VZ cells in different regions of the brain expressed as a percentage of total VZ cells. at: anterior telencephalon; BrdU: bromodeoxyuridine; cereb: cerebellum; dlt: dorsolateral telencephalon; mes: mesencephalon; mlt: mediolateral telencephalon; rh: rhombencephalon; vt: ventral telencephalon; VZ: ventricular zone. * significant (P = 0.025), ** very significant (P = 0.006), *** extremely significant (P = 0.0004) by Student’s T-test.
