^aRaw data of the numbers of mDA neurons counted per brain hemisphere in the central mDA region and the results from statistical analysis, comparing cell counts between Neurod6 mutant and control brains at each stage using the unpaired Student's t test. n, Number of brain samples analyzed; NA, not applicable; NS, not significant.

*p < 0.05 (Student's t test);
