The 5 dpf intestine contains four clusters of differentiated neurons including a cluster of elavl3+; phox2bb-enteric neurons showing excitatory and inhibitory gene expression
(A) Featureplots of genes defining four clusters of differentiated neurons.
(B) Featureplots highlighting the presence of a cluster of cells expressing elavl3, slc17a6b and gad1b, but lacking expression of phox2bb (phox2bb-differentiated neurons, depicted by the circle).
(C) Maximum projections of live imaging recordings from 7 dpf tg(gad1b:GFP); tg(vglut2a-dsRed) larval intestine shows overlap between the two reporters (arrows) with one gad1b+ cell that is vlgut2- (arrowhead). Scale bar represents 40 μm.
(D) Maximum projections of live imaging recordings from 7 dpf tg(phox2bb:GFP); tg(vglut2a-dsRed) larval intestine shows no overlap between the two reporters. Scale bar represents 20 μm.
