Immunohistochemical distribution of NLGN4 in the human thalamus and midbrain. A A representative image of the neonatal thalamus (case ID: N10). NLGN4-positive cells appeared sparsely distributed. B A magnified view of the boxed area in E. NLGN4-negative to weakly NLGN4-positive neurons (black arrowheads) were located among NLGN4-positive neurons. C A representative image of the neonatal red nucleus and midbrain reticular formation (case ID: N5). Intense NLGN4 signals were observed in large cells in the midbrain reticular formation but not in the red nucleus. The boundary of the red nucleus is indicated by the dashed line. D Another image of the neonatal red nucleus and midbrain reticular formation (case ID: N10). The boundary of the red nucleus is indicated by the dashed line. E, F Representative images of the neonatal oculomotor nucleus (case ID: N4 for E, N5 for F). In both cases, intense NLGN4 signals were observed in the accessory nucleus (white arrowheads), and moderate to intense NLGN4 signals were observed in the main nucleus (black arrowheads). Scale bars = 100 µm (A, F), 25 µm (B), 200 µm (C, D, E)
