“…No attempt was made to analyze the distributions according to control heterozygous (rllf) cortical layers (II-VI), and instead a radial division of the cortex into equalsized bins allowed direct spatial comparisons between homozygous reeler (rllrl) and control heterozygous (Al+) cortices. In accordance with the known wild-type deep-superficial neurogenic gradient (Angevine and Sidman, 1961;Smart and Smart, 1982;van der Kooy and Fishell, 1987;Miller and Nowakowski, 1988), Ell-labeled neurons in the control heterozygous (rl/+) cortices were located entirely within bins 5-10, with more than 40% in bin 10 alone. Heterozygous control (AS) E12-and E13-labeled neurons were also present primarily in deep bins, with E13-labeled neurons the most superficially represented population within the deep bins.…”
