Plastic Changes in the Spinal Cord in Motor Neuron Disease

Figure 8

NeuN immunostaining within lamina X. Representative high magnification of NeuN immunostained slices from lamina X of lumbar spinal cord (a). Again, immunopositive cells within lamina X for WT mice treated with either saline or lithium (WT Sal or WT Li, resp.) is equivalent. On the other hand, NeuN positive cells are suppressed in the lamina X of saline treated G93A mice (G93A Sal), while lithium administration (G93A Li) partially recovers NeuN immunostaining as reported in the histogram (b). * compared with other groups. Scale bar = 30 μm.
