Detection of FTL expression on the surface of the brain using whole brain βgal histochemistry. Shown are side views of posterior cortex of brain from an FTL mouse which had been (A) housed in the dark for 3 days and (B) housed in an environment with a 12 hr dark/12 hr light cycle. The primary visual cortex is circled. Scale bar = 250 μm.
