Fig. 7. The distribution of the NMDA receptor NRl subunit mRNA splice variants in the adult rat brain (X-ray film autoradiographs, horizontal sections). Pan, NRl total mRNA AV, anteroventral thalamic nuclei Cb, cerebellum Cp, caudate putamen Cx, neocortex Dg, denate granule cells ER, entorhinal cortex Hi, hippocampus S, septum smc, sensori-motor cortex T, thalamus. Scale bar, 1.8. mm (Laurie and Seeburg, 1994). See Fig. 6 for explanation of the nomenclature.

Fig. 23. Glucose utilization in the anterior thalamus. Upper left control. Lower left chronic administration of an ACTH4-9 analog. Glucose utilization is elevated relative to adjacent areas in the U-shaped anterior thalamic nuclei (TAM, TAV). Lower right apomorphine. Glucose utilization is reduced relative to adjacent areas in the anterior thalamic nuclei (TAM, TAV). TAM, anteromedial thalamic nuclei TAV, anteroventral thalamic nuclei RE, nucleus reuniens.
