Figure Lengend Snippet: Hippocampal PV+ interneurons express AUTS2 and are reduced in numbers in in Nes-cre, ex7 -/- mice , abbreviated as ex7 -/- in figures. a) Hippocampal PV+ cells were significantly decreased in all HC regions in Nes-cre, ex7 -/- mutants compared to WT littermates, as were overall counts. b) In the cortex and HC of adult wildtype mouse, PV+ cells (green) showed abundant AUTS2 co-expression (red) . Red boxes show zoomed in view of indicated area. c) In P14 cortex and HC, some (white arrows and red zoom boxes) but not all (white box) GAD+ interneurons (green) co-expressed AUTS2 expression (red) at high levels. Cursor and white arrows show examples of overlap of GAD+ AUTS2+ cells. Red boxes show zoomed in view of indicated area. d) In adult DG, GAD+ cells (green) showed abundant expression of AUTS2 (red). Red boxes show zoomed in view of indicated area. e) The ratio of cFOS+/total cell count in CA1 was significantly increased in adult mutants compared to WT. Two-tailed t-test was used to test statistical significance, * = p<0.05, ** = p<0.01, ***= p<0.001, **** = p<0.0001.
