Expression of the GABA gene in mouse brain. A sagittal section of the brain of a C57BL mouse showing the expression of the GABA gene GAD67. The sagittal section is approximately 1.5 mm from the midline. The GABA gene is heavily expressed in the reticular nucleus of the prethalamus (Rt) and the dorsal and ventral laminae of the zona incerta (ZID and ZIV). There is only light expression in the caudal zona incerta. Note that GABA gene expression is virtually absent in the thalamus but that there is moderate expression in the pretectal area.
