Supplementary Figure 2: Changes in the level of hypothalamic neuropeptides under dark-rearing and whisker-deprivation conditions.

(a) Microarray results showing changes in the mRNA level of multiple neuropeptides in the hypothalamus of dark-reared mice at P14, as compared to controls; n = 2 for each condition. (b,c) Real-time qPCR results showing changes in the mRNA level of neuropeptides from the hypothalamus in dark-reared (b, n = 4 for each condition) or whisker-deprived (c, n = 4 or 9 for each condition) mice at P14. Error bars denote s.e.m.; “n” represents the number of mice. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, using paired t-test.
