Dusp1-eGFP expression in GENSAT mouse brains. A: Immunocytochemistry detection of enhanced GFP (eGFP) driven by the dusp1 promoter (A1,2) and promoters of cortical laminar-specific genes in the mouse brain (A3: Rorb for layer IV; A4: Dtx4 for layers I–III and IV; A5,6: Darpp32, a.k.a. Ppp1r1b for layer VI). Darpp32 is also expressed in the striatum at a high level and parts of the thalamus at an intermediate level. B: Magnified images of dusp1 (B1), Rorb (B2), and Darpp32 (B3) in the visual cortex (from A, caudal cortical region). C: Magnified images of dusp1 expression (C1) and adjacent Nissl-stained section (C2) in sensory input thalamic nuclei (MGD and DLG). Note the absence of expression in the higher order nuclei of the thalamus, including the peripeduncular nucleus (PP), the subgeniculate nucleus (SubG), and the intergeniculate leaflet (IGL). Gene abbreviations: Rorb, RAR-related orphan receptor β; Dtx4, deltex 4 homolog (Drosophila); Darpp32, dopamine- and adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate-regulated phosphoprotein or Ppp1r1b, protein phosphatase 1, regulatory (inhibitor) subunit 1B. Images are from the GENSAT database (GENSAT Project, NINDS Contract #N01NS02331 to The Rockefeller University, New York, NY). For abbreviations, see list. Scale bar = 2 mm in A6 (applies to A1–A6); 200 μm in B3 (applies to B1–B3); 500 μm in C2 (applies to C1,C2).
