Microgliosis and astrocytosis are associated with hippocampal neuronal loss. Photomicrographs of a coronal section of the hippocampus of a blast-exposed rat with local gliosis immunostained for the identification of microglia (Iba1, white), astrocytes (GFAP, red) and neurons (NeuN, green). a, Merged image; b, Iba1 staining; c, GFAP staining; d, NeuN staining; and e, DAPI staining (blue). Note the loss of CA1 NeuN+ pyramidal cells (d) associated with the gliosis. Scale, 1 mm in a and 500 µm in b-e
