Alternative marker genes to Slc17a6, Th, and Gad1. (a) Venn diagram showing relationships among Slc17a6-, Th-, and Gad1-like genes. Numbers of genes belonging to individual clusters are shown. (b–d) Heat maps showing similar expression between the selected candidates and Slc17a6 (b), Th (c), and Gad1 (d). Blue triangles indicate guide points for designation of medial (left, voxels 1–26) and lateral (right, voxels 27–42). Expression intensity for each gene was autoscaled to yield a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1 (red, positive; blue, negative). e Correlation patterns of Slc17a6-, Th-, and Gad1-like genes. These three groups of genes were categorized into 11 clusters (C1–11) based on their correlations (positive, red; negative, blue) with Slc17a6, Th, and Gad1
