Expressions of beclin 1 in the olfactory bulb, cerebellum, hippocampus, and cortex after 3 and 6 months of exposure to particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of < 2.5 μm (PM2.5; exposure group). Three months of exposure to PM2.5 (exposure group) caused significant expression of beclin 1 in the hippocampus compared to the control (high-efficiency particulate air; HEPA), whereas 6 months of exposure of PM2.5 significantly decreased the expression of beclin 1 in the cortex compared to the control. * p < 0.05
