fluorescing green), and DAPI-mounting serum as a DNA (nucleus) marker with blue fluorescence for reference against anti-Calbindin-marked GABAergic neurons (Lammel, 2016). While GABAergic-neuron-expressing anti-Calbindin labeled various regions of the brain such as, midbrain reticular nucleus (MRN), Red nucleus (RN), Substantia Nigra pars reticulate (SNr), and Interpeduncular nucleus (IPN), our region of study was focused on the ventral tegmentum area (VTA) and the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Role…
