Newly Generated Cells in the Dentate Gyrus Differentially Respond to Brief Spatial Exploration and Forced Swim in Adult Female Balb/C Mice

Figure 2

Arc expression in the dentate gyrus of adult mice. (a) Experimental design. (b) Arc-positive cells are present in the dentate gyrus. Bright field also shows the granule cell layer (GCL), hilus (H), and molecular layer (ML). High-power images exhibit the presence of Arc in the nucleus, and Arc labelling is present in the dendrites projecting to the ML. The scale bar in (b) is equal to 10 μm (c) Also, the distribution of Arc is shown by immunofluorescence. Scale bars in (c) are equal to 20 and 10 μm.
