Table 3.
Relative expression of the 8 AFT candidate genes in brain areas from Allen Brain Atlas
| Brain area | Epb4.1l2 | Wnk1 | Hlf | Kcnb1 | Cutl1 | Glcci1 | Mtch2 | A130022J15Rik |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cerebellum | 0 | ++++ | ++++ | + | +++ | + | ++++ | + |
| Cerebral cortex | ++ | ++++ | ++++ | ++++ | +++ | ++ | ++ | 0 |
| Hippocampus | + | ++++ | ++++ | ++++ | ++ | + | ++++ | 0 |
| Hypothalamus | 0 | +++ | ++ | + | ++ | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Midbrain | 0 | ++++ | ++++ | ++ | ++ | 0 | + | 0 |
| Medulla | 0 | ++++ | ++++ | 0 | +++ | + | +++ | + |

| Striatum | 0 | ++++ | ++++ | ++++ | + | ++ | 0 | 0 |
| Thalamus | 0 | ++++ | ++++ | ++++ | +++ | 0 | ++ | 0 |
Expression levels are scaled as 0 (expression level 0-15), + (expression level 15.1-30), ++ (expression level 30.1-50), +++ (expression level 50.1-70), ++++ (expression level 70.1-100) as indicated in the Allen Brain Atlas. The levels of expression were obtained from sagittal and coronal sections available at (http://www.brain-map.org), and the 3 dimensional reconstruction in Figure 3 may obscure the level of gene expression in some of the brain areas included in this table.
