WFA-stained ECM in the Gi of the pons. (a–j) Low- (a–e) and high- (f–j) power images of WFA labeling in the Gi at P3 (a, f), P7 (b, g), P14 (c, h), P21 (d, i), and 5 w (e, j). PNN-like staining was observed at P3 and P7, which became clearer and more complicated from P14 onward. Gi: gigantocellular nucleus. Scale bars = 500 (a–e) and 50 (f–j) μm.
