Results
Specimen 1A: postnatal month 6; Kcnk5Gt(KST024)Byg/Kcnk5Gt(KST024)Byg (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: brainstem Present Regionally restricted 1A Authors report that expression was restricted to very few brainstem regions and was absent in other brain regions.
TS28: medulla oblongata Present Regionally restricted 1A Expression at the ventral medullary surface surface (VMS) around the facial motor (VII) nucleus, in the retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) and parafacial respiratory group (pfRG). No expression in the medial parapyramidal region.

Specimen 1B: postnatal month 6; Kcnk5Gt(KST024)Byg/Kcnk5Gt(KST024)Byg (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: midbrain Present Regionally restricted 1B Expression in the dorsal raphe (DR) nucleus and in the intermediate nucleus of the lateral lemniscus (ILL).

Specimen not shown: postnatal month 6; Kcnk5Gt(KST024)Byg/Kcnk5Gt(KST024)Byg (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: inferior colliculus Weak Regionally restricted Sparse labeling in the caudal inferior colliculus, in the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (CIC).

Specimen 1C: postnatal month 6; Kcnk5Gt(KST024)Byg/Kcnk5Gt(KST024)Byg (more )
