Loss of TH⁺ neurons and fibers in the VM of Top IIβ null mice. TH-immunostaining was performed in sagittal sections of E18.5 Top IIβ^+/+ and Top IIβ^-/- mice brains. The location of TH⁺ neurons areas were indicated by horizontal arrows (SNc) and arrowheads (VTA). Vertical arrowheads indicated the location of the TH⁺ fibers extended from SNc and VTA (a and b). c and d showed in higher magnification that the TH⁺ neurons in SNc was loss in Top IIβ^-/- mice, while the number also decreased in VTA. Bar = 100 μm.
