Extended Data Fig. 5: Thalamic and layer 1 cortical areas targeted by the medial and lateral cerebellar nuclei.
From: Regulation of autism-relevant behaviors by cerebellar–prefrontal cortical circuits

a, Thalamic nuclei with monosynaptic inputs from the right medial nucleus (MN) and lateral nucleus (LN) identified via AAV1-mediated anterograde transsynaptic tracing. The number of the trans-synaptically labeled thalamic neurons in each nucleus indicated as + + (high), + (low), and - (none). b, Disynaptic inputs from the right MN and LN to distinct cortical regions of the left cerebral cortex, identified via transsynaptic tracing. Labeled input density to layer 1 of each cortical area is indicated as + + (high), + (low), and - (none). c, Representative tracing results of disynaptic inputs from the right MN and LN to distinct areas in the left cerebral cortex. Axons and terminals of thalamic neurons trans-synaptically labeled from injections to MN and LN are indicated in black. Results from injections to MN and LN are in the left and right, respectively, of each panel. Top and bottom parts of each panel correspond to layer 1 and 6. Inputs to layer 1 originate predominantly from the VM thalamus. Arrowheads indicate layer 1. Scale bar applies to all panels. d, representative injection site in the LN and e, representative injection site in the MN. Scale bar applies to all panels.
