title: The effect of ageing on the posterior medial and posterior lateral subnuclei of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis in the mouse.
abstract: The posterior medial and posterior lateral subnuclei of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis were examined in male ASH/TO mice aged 6, 15, 25, 28 and 31 months using quantitative histological techniques. Neuron number in the posterior lateral subnucleus remained constant from 6 to 31 months (mean 1918 +/- 60) whereas in the posterior medial subnucleus neuron number fell from 5165 +/- 145 at 25 months to 4197 +/- 172 at 28 months. There was no further decrease in neuron number at 31 months (4034 +/- 55).
