Figure 1

Schematic diagram illustrating the striatal injection site of ET-1 and the counting method. Drawing of a parasagittal section depicting the sectioning location (a), illustration of the ET-1 injection site in a coronal section drawing (b), and the location of the counting fields in the rat striatum (c). The squares in (c) are in scale to the counting fields they represent. CX = cortex; CC = corpus callosum; ST = striatum; LV = lateral ventricle.
