Table 2

Astrocytic immunoreactivity to NDRG2, GFAP and S100β in different cerebral regions.

	GFAP	NDRG2	S100β
Cortex (dorsal)	+	+++	+++
Cortex (ventral)	+	++	++
Corpus callosum	++	+	+
Hippocampus	+++	++	++
Thalamus	+	+++	+++
Cerebral peduncle	++	+	+

+++: strongly positive; ++: moderately positive; +: weakly positive.
