Gene function category enrichment of the significantly differentially expressed genes in the neuronal and non-neuronal gene populations: Pie-chart showing the most functionally enriched terms in the significantly differentially expressed genes IPA analysis. a gene function categories enriched in the neuronal population. b Gene category functions enriched in the non-neuronal population. Different colors represent different molecular functions and the size of the pie slice, the percentage of genes representing this category. Each category represents differentially expressed genes grouped by functional category. For example, ion-channels represent 8% of the DEG in the neuronal population (a) but only 1.5% of the genes in the non-neuronal population (b). The surprisingly high percentage of the genes are listed as ‘other’ because they are not represented within the functional categories defined by the IPA software parameters. Number of genes associated with each category is available in Additional file 22: Table S3
