Photomicrographs showing examples of immunohistochemically stained neurons (NeuN) in the Caudate Nucleus (A-C), and in the CA3 region of the hippocampus (D-F).

<p>In Plates G to R show photomicrographs from periventricular white matter (PVWM), including all oligodendrocytes (Olig-2, G-I), immature to mature oligodendrocytes (CNPase, J-L), proliferating cells (Ki-67, M-O) and microglia (Iba-1, P-R) from sham-control, asphyxia-saline and asphyxia-DEX fetuses. Arrows show examples of labelled cells. Note the reduction in number of neurons and oligodendrocytes after asphyxia and further loss with DEX treatment, and marked induction of microglia in the PVWM. Scale bar is 40 µm.
