Figure 3

Illustrates ventral T13-L1 axons using H&E staining. ((a)–(o)) exhibits ventral axons of the white matter of the intact, injured treated with tamoxifen, and injured without tamoxifen cats in the ipsilateral and contralateral sides. ((a), (f), and (k)) Intact cat, ((b), (g), and (l)) ipsilateral side coronal cuts in an injured cat without tamoxifen, ((c), (h), and (m)) ipsilateral side coronal cuts from an injured cat treated with tamoxifen, ((d), (i), and (n)) contralateral coronal cuts obtained in an injured cat without tamoxifen, and ((e), (j), and (o)) contralateral coronal cut obtained from an injured with tamoxifen cat.
