In each section of the frontoparietal cortex studied, every neuronal somata positive for a given neuropeptide or protein was verified for Reln-immunoreactivity. We studied each of three consecutive sections from each rat (see Materials and Methods), and the percentage of somata coexpressing one of the markers under study and Reln was tabulated.
