Lesion profile of H-type BSE-challenged cattle in 17 brain areas. The different brain areas indicated are as follows: 1, nucleus of the solitary tract; 2, nucleus of the spinal tract of the trigeminal nerve; 3, hypoglossal nucleus; 4, vestibular nuclear complex; 5, cochlear nucleus; 6, cerebellar vermis; 7, central gray matter; 8, superior colliculus; 9, medial geniculate nucleus; 10, hypothalamus; 11, dorsomedial nucleus of the thalamus; 12, ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus; 13, frontal cortex; 14, septal nucleus; 15, caudate nucleus; 16, putamen; 17, claustrum. The lesion scores for C-type BSE are taken from a previous study [21].
