The arrows designate the direction of the significant gene expression change in schizophrenia (SCZ) or bipolar disorder (BP) from previous microarray studies.
‘–' designates no significant change in expression; NP, indicates not present in the dataset.
Cell-type specific expression was determined by comparing with transcriptome datasets for astrocytes, neurons and oligodendrocytes, from Cahoy et al.32
