Figure 1

A comparison of the regional expression patterns of SMIT1 (A, C, E) and SMIT2 (B, D, F) in the brain at 2 months (A, B), 4 months (C, D) and 6 months of age (E, F) showed a distinct pattern of expression. SMIT1 levels were significantly higher in the cerebellum than in the cortex or hippocampus at 4 and 6 months of age. SMIT2 levels were significantly higher in the cortex and cerebellum, compared to the hippocampus at all three time points and significantly higher in the cerebellum, compared to the cortex, at 4 and 6 months of age. (n = 10 animals/group; p<0.05).
