Fig 7

The expression of Wfs1 and Drd1a in the adult red-eared slider turtle (Trachemys scripta) brain, shown by mRNA in situ hybridization on coronal brain sections. The sections are in anterio-posterior order from left to right. The probes are indicated on the left side of the figure. Wfs1 expression is widespread in the brain of T.scripta, being distinguishedly strong in MC, DC, PT and near the ventricular surface in the caudal DVR (A-D). Drd1a expression occupies the same regions as that of Wfs1, but is missing in MC and very weak in DC and caudal DVR (E-H). Unlike Wfs1, Drd1a is present in LC (E-G). For abbreviations, see list. Scale bar is 1 mm.
