The second column shows the total number of VGAT boutons from each lamina (or sublamina) that were analysed, with the range per animal (n = 3 rats) shown in brackets. The mean percentages of the VGAT-positive boutons that were galanin-immunoreactive are shown in the third column, with ranges per animal in brackets.
