Figure 3: Distribution of nNOS neurons in rat brain [43]. Red bands indicate areas with higher numbers of nNOS neurons in Dahl salt-sensitive hypertensive rats compared with salt-sensitive normotensive rats. Yellow text indicates parts of the sympathetic center. Numbers indicate the plate number in the book by George Paxison [44]. PVN: paraventricular nucleus; SON: supraoptic nucleus; DMH: dorsomedial hypothalamus; PAG: periaquaductal gray matter; PB: parabrachial nucleus; NTS: nucleus tractus solitarius; RVLM: rostral ventrolateral medulla; CVLM: caudal ventrolateral medulla; CPA: caudal pressor area; IML: intermediolateral column.
