Description of photo:
Adult zebrafish telencephalon indicating the Gata3 positive cells (red) which are found in the ventricular zone and the neuronal layer (green). Most of the marked Gata3-positive cells (cyan) indicating that these cells proliferated.

Description of photo: Zebrafish telencephalon after traumatic brain injury. In the injured telencephalic hemisphere (left) one can observe the ongoing inflammatory response. Leukocytes (green cells) are infiltrating the damaged hemisphere in order to exert their function and phagocytose cells debris. One additional observation is the activation of the ventricularly-located radial glial cells in the injured hemisphere as shown with staining for the proliferation marker PCNA (red cells).
