Gene-expression profiles in the pulvinar. (A) The Nissl reference atlas of the pulvinar. The medial (PM), lateral (PL), inferior (lateral and medial, Plcm and Plcl), and posterior limitans nucleus of the thalamus (PLi) are indicated. (B) NPY2R was expressed in the PM, PL, and Plcl. (C–E) Genes expressed in the PM and PL with less clear borders (SLIT1, CYP26B1, and GABRG1). (F and G) Specific expression of NNAT and ANO2 in the PM. (H) NPTX1 was expressed in a scattered manner in the PL. (I–K) Genes not expressed in the Plcm, but in the regions surrounding it (PEG10, GDA, and GBX2). (Scale bar in A: 1 mm.)
