Abdominal NB 4-2 clone with NB 3-3 clone in adjacent anterior segment

NB 4-2 clone (with NB 3-3 clone in next anterior segment). Very mature clone shows that entirety of SNc derives from CoR motoneurons.

Two ways to view the same clones

upper left panel is a confocal z-series of DiI labeled clone; sections are 1.5 microns.Movie begins at dorsal surface.

upper right panel is a projection of z-series, rotated 45 degrees about y-axis. DiI alone.

 

In both cases, anterior is up.
