Figure 4

Differential expression of K-Channel genes in the anterior forebrain pathway (LMAN and Area X) (A). Camera lucida drawing of a parasagittal section (~1.4 mm from the midline) depicting anterior portions of the nidopallium and the medial striatum, including song nucleus LMAN and Area X (approximate location is indicated in Figure 1; laminae are depicted by thin lines; nuclei are indicated by dotted lines). (B-H) Representative photomicrographs of select K-Channel genes that are selectively expressed in LMAN and Area X. While some genes show almost exclusive expression in either LMAN (B) or Area X (E), others show varying patterns of expression in both nuclei, including very specific cell populations. Scale bar: 200 μm. Gene abbreviations are given in Table 1. See Abbreviations for a complete list of anatomical abbreviations.
