Figure 8. Gene expression in MCs.

Figure 8

A, 3-D computer reconstruction. B, classical accommodation responses in a layer V MC. C, chart showing the percentage of MCs expressing different mRNAs encoding for the CaBPs (calbindin, CB; parvalbumin, PV; and calretinin, CR), neuropeptides (neuropeptide Y, NPY; vasoactive intestinal peptide, VIP; somatostatin, SOM; cholecystokinin, CCK) sorted according to layer. D, chart showing percentages of c-AC MCs expressing different mRNAs encoding for the voltage-activated K+ channels (Kv1.1, Kv1.2, Kv1.4, Kv1.6, Kv2.1, Kv2.2, Kv3.1, Kv3.2, Kv3.3, Kv3.4, Kv4.2 and Kv4.3) and their auxiliary subunits (Kvβ1 and Kvβ2); the K+/Na+ permeable hyperpolarization-activated ion channels (HCN1, HCN2, HCN3 and HCN4) the Ca2+-activated K+ channel SK2; and the voltage-activated calcium channels (Caα1A, Caα1B, Caα1G and Caα1I) and their auxiliary subunits (Caβ1, Caβ3 and Caβ4).
