Zif268-positive cells in the IC. (a) Zif268-positive cells in the IC of a sham-operated rat. (b) Zif268-positive cells in the IC of a nerve-injured rat. (c) Comparison of zif268-positive cells in the nerve-injured and sham groups. Zif268-positive cells increased significantly in the IC after nerve injury (). Cell counts are expressed per section.
