Photomicrographs showing periventricular brain tissue after sacrifice (at age 52 days) of non-hydrocephalic and hydrocephalic ferret brains following a treatment period that lasted 14 days. Upper row (A) shows the dorsolateral angle of the frontal horn of the lateral ventricle (LV) (hematoxylin and eosin stain). In normal animals, the subventricular zone (SVZ) is densely cellular whereas in hydrocephalic animals from all groups the SVZ was less pronounced. Lower row (B) shows the roof of the frontal horn including the corpus callosum (CC) (solochrome cyanin stains myelin blue, with eosin counterstain pink). In all hydrocephalic treatment groups, the CC was thin (see Table 1 for quantitative data) and the periventricular white matter rarified or frayed with less intense myelin staining. Total magnification ×100; scale bar = 100 μm
