Confocal image of BDNF immunostaining (red) in CA3b of the hippocampus of a control-treated mouse which expresses GFP in a subset of hippocampal neurons under control of the Thy1 promoter (mice kindly provided by Guoping Feng, Duke University). The upper and lower bands of BDNF immunostaining correspond to the mossy fiber projection in stratum lucidum, and the infrapyramidal mossy fiber projection, respectively. GFP expressing mossy fibers and CA3 pyramidal neurons are shown in blue. BDNF immunoreactive giant mossy fiber boutons appear green.
