photomicrographs of sections of the cerebral cortex obtained from paroxetine-treated rats showing a: disorganization of cerebral cortex layers I, II, III, IV, and V, degenerative vacuolization (thick arrows), and congested blood vessel (thin arrow). b: showing eosinophilic degeneration of pyramidal cells (P), loss of its cell processes, eosiniphilic cytoplasm (thick arrow) and small dark nuclei (thin arrow), and some cells surrounded by halos (*). c: layer IV contains multinuclear of granule cells (thin arrows), neurons with pyknotic nuclei (thick arrow) and intercellular edema (*). d: degenerative granular layer contains vacuolated granule cells with pyknotic nuclei (arrow), eosinophilic pyramidal cells (P), degenerated neuropil (*) and congested blood vessel (CBV)
