Fig.5

photomicrographs of sections of the cerebral cortex obtained from rats treated with paroxetine and ALA showing a: normal structure of the cerebral cortex; pia matter (arrow), molecular layer (I), outer granular layer (II), outer pyramidal layer (III), inner granular layer (IV), inner pyramidal layer (V) and the multiform layer (VI). b: molecular layer (I) contains neuroglial cells (thin arrow), external granular layer (II) with normal granule cells (thick arrow) and small pyramidal cells (P), and external pyramidal layer (III) had normal neurons (red arrow). c: showing internal granular layer (IV) with normal granule cell (thick arrow), and internal pyramidal layer (V) contains pyramidal cells (thin arrow) and blood vessel (BV). d: granule cells with open face nuclei and prominent nucleoli (G), while others appears as ghosts of nerve cells that lost their nucleoli and are faintly stained (thick arrows), and some vacuolated one (thin arrow). e: mostly normal internal pyramidal layer contained normal pyramidal cells (P), and neuropil (*) with few vacuoles
