Table 6. Distribution of Pax6+ cells during neocortical development.

E50 1023 3 89% (910/1023) 6.7% (68/1023) 4% (42/1023) 0.3% (3/1023)

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.
