Results
Specimen 1a' - 1: postnatal adult; Efna2tm1Jgf/Efna2tm1Jgf (more )
Note: A series of adjacent coronal sections of efnA2 KO adult brain with arrowheads to demarcate the maximum width for the patch of low immunostaining density.
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: neocortex cerebral cortex neuron Present Non-Uniform 1a' series 1 An abnormal patch of low immunostaining was observed in the mutant. The patches established sharp boundaries between normal and disrupted zones and extended through the neocortex with the loss of neurons becoming more severe towards the center of the patch, as illustrated on the series of adjacent sections.
