Representative immunofluorescence images of BrdU/nestin-expressing cells. BrdU and nestin expression in the subgranular zone of dentate gyrus (DG) of the sleep-deprived group (REMSD) and the MEL + REMSD group. Melatonin treatment increased the number of neural progenitors in DG as compared with controls. Bars = 10 µm.
