PrV-infected neurons (arrow) in the supraspinal area after 7-8 d PrV injection in the left uterus horn (). (a) PrV-infected neurons in the NTS and DMX. (b) PrV-infected neurons in the A5 noradrenaline cell group. (c) PrV-infected neurons in the RPa and RMg. (d) PrV-infected neurons in the Gi. (e) PrV-infected neurons in the PVN. 3V: third ventricle; AP: area postrema; DMX: motor nucleus of vagus; Gi: gigantocellular reticular nucleus; Gr: gracile nucleus; NTS: nucleus of solitary tract; PVN: paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus; RPa: raphe pallidus nucleus; RMg: raphe magnus nucleus (scale bar: 100 um).
