Figure 1From: NTRK2 expression levels are reduced in laser captured pyramidal neurons from the anterior cingulate cortex in males with autism spectrum disorderLaser capture microdissection of pyramidal neurons and astrocytes. Shown in (A) is the absence of laser captured nissl-stained pyramidal neurons from cortical layer 3 in BA24 gray matter tissue following capture (20× magnification). (B) shows those cells adhered to the polymer cap (20× magnification). (C) and (D) illustrate the before (C) and after (D) capture images for nissl-stained BA24 pyramidal neurons (40× magnification). (E) and (F) show the same laser capture process for GFAP immunostained astrocytes in BA24 gray matter (60× magnification).Back to article page
