Domain structures of the postnatal OT and postnatal maturation of the anteromedial OT domain. (A) Reconstruction of the cap compartment, Islands of Calleja, and cortex-like domain of the OT at P3, P8, P15, and P56 in the left hemisphere (dorsal view). Orange, cap compartment; magenta, superficial Islands of Calleja; purple, deep Islands of Calleja; green, anteromedial cortex-like domain; yellow, lateral cortex-like domain; cyan, central cortex-like domain; blue, posterior cortex-like domain. (B) Molecular expression in the OT domains. The panels are coronal sections of the OT at postnatal periods indicated. Top row, NeuroTrace staining; second row from top, immunostaining for DARPP-32; middle row, merged view of NeuroTrace (green) and DARPP-32 (red). Second row from bottom, in situ hybridisation for dopamine receptor type 1 (D1) mRNA; bottom row, dopamine receptor type 2 (D2) mRNA. Scale bars: 200 μm. A, anterior; P, posterior; L, lateral; M, medial; D, dorsal; V, ventral.
