Fig. 7

Distribution of microglia in the vicinity of a blast-induced hemorrhagic focal tear. The relative localization of the different panels in the brain of the blast-exposed animal is indicated in Fig. 6 (e). Panels (a-c), Iba 1 (green) and GFAP (red) immunostaining. Absence of microglia (green) in the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus immediately next to the blast-induced tear (a). Presence of reactive and ameboid microglia in the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus (b) and in the stratum lucidum (c) of the hippocampus, away from the tear. Microglial activation gradient, Iba 1 (green) immunostaining (d-f). Primed and reactive (types 2–3) microglia in the cortex (d, e). Ameboid (type 4) microglia in the region associated with the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus away from the tear (f). Scale bar, 50 μm
