Figure 8

Densities of PSD95 and SAP102 puncta, and total densities of puncta in different regions of the brain. The total densities of puncta have been calculated from previously published densities and colocalization indexes of PSD95 and SAP102 puncta16. Symbols represent the different subregions within the major brain regions listed in the legend (see Supplementary Table 2 for the complete list of subregions). The isocortex, the olfactory areas, the hippocampal formation and the cortical subplate have high densities of puncta. The pallidum, the hypothalamus, the brainstem and the cerebellum have low densities of puncta. There is a wide variability in the total densities of puncta in the striatum and thalamus.
