Figure 7

Representative photomicrographs showing c-Fos immunoreactivity in the SuVe (Bregma −11.60 mm) of rats that underwent cochleostomy at 1 and 3 hours and 6 and 20 days. Bilaterally increased c-Fos-positive cells were observed at 6 hours (b1 and b2), 6 days (c1 and c2), and 20 days (d1 and d2) relative to controls (a1 and a2). (a1), (b1), (c1), and (d1): right side; (a2), (b2), (c2), and (d2): left side. Scale bar = 40 μm.
