Gene expression in the zebrafish habenulae and homology with rodents

Listed are genes found to be transcribed in regions of the dorsal (D) and/or ventral (V) habenular nuclei for larval (La) or adult (A) zebrafish, as determined by RNA in situ hybridization. Questions marks indicate where published data are unclear. Expression of homologous genes in the medial (M) and/or lateral (L) habenular nuclei of rodents is also noted. References are provided for the zebrafish and rodent studies. AB atlas signifies the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas, available from: http://mouse.brain-map.org, ©2012 Allen Institute for Brain Science.
