Table 6. Distribution of Pax6+ cells during neocortical development.
Macaque age | Total Pax6+ cells | Radial units | VZ | iSVZ | oSVZ | CP (incl. PP/SP/MZ) |
E50 | 1023 | 3 | 89% (910/1023) | 6.7% (68/1023) | 4% (42/1023) | 0.3% (3/1023) |
E65 | 2098 | 3 | 33.9% (704/2098) | 11% (239/2098) | 55% (1154/2098) | 0.1% (1/2098) |
E80 | 1915 | 3 | 20% (381/1915) | 26% (493/1915) | 51% (974/1915) | 3% (67/1915) |
E100 | 1043 | 2 | 24% (247/1043) | 6% (61/1043) | 67% (701/1043) | 3% (34/1043) |
Numbers represent the average percentage of Pax6+ cells in each compartment of the developing somatosensory cortex per radial unit, averaged across n radial units. Cells were identified through Pax6 immunoreactivity in a minimum of two 200 µm wide radial unit sections from each age in each species. Numbers in parentheses indicate the total number of Pax6+ cells counted in each compartment.
