Summary table for GABA containing proportion of glial cells in several brain regions from immunohistochemistry data used anti-GABA and anti-GFP antibody in GFAP-GFP transgenic mice. The number of (+) represent percent of GABA containing cells out of all GFAP-GFP positive glial cells in each brain region. 0~20(%): + 21~40(%): ++ 41~60(%): +++ 61~80(%): ++++ 81~100(%): +++++
