Colocalization of neurons and astrocytes in the ventrolateral medulla. Neurons and astrocytes are identified as neuron-specific marker NeuN-positive cells (green) and astrocyte-specific marker S100b-positive cells (red), respectively. a Ventrolateral medullary region. The square indicates the preBötC region, and corresponds to the area in b. b An enlarged image of the preBötC. The square indicates the area in c. c A high-magnification picture showing colocalized cell bodies of neurons and astrocytes. Amb nucleus ambiguus
