Figure 4

Histogram showing the relative (z-scored) cerebellar expression of all 12000 + genes from the Allen Brain Science Institute database (www.brain-map.org)29, depicted by frequency (y-axis) of each z-score of relative cerebellar expression (x-axis). The dashed vertical lines depict z-scores of relative cerebellar expression for TSC1 and TSC2 compared to all other genes. The rightward shift of this distribution reveals that expression of many genes is relatively increased in the cerebellum compared to other brain regions; however, the location of TSC1 and TSC2 within the positive tail of the distribution confirms their greater regional specificity.
