The Cell Birth Marker BrdU Does Not Affect Recruitment of Subsequent Cell Divisions in the Adult Avian Brain

Figure 5

Schematic views of the three investigated brain regions. (a) Top view of the brain: rostral section is to the left and caudal section is to the right. We indicate the range within which frontal sections were taken from the nidopallium caudale (NC), hippocampus (HC), and HVC. Several sections were sampled along the rostrocaudal axis of each brain region (for details, see text); only three sections are shown here: the most rostral, the middle, and the most caudal (from left to right) in NC (b), HC (c), and HVC (d). Cerebellum: Cb, lamina arcopallialis dorsalis: LAD, lateral ventricle: V, nidopallium: N, nucleus robustus arcopallii: RA, and tectum opticum: TeO. Orientations: dorsal: D, lateral: L, ventral: V, and medial: M, adapted from [43] and illustrated by A. Cattan.
