Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a , b) Representative sm-FISH images of the co-staining of EX neuronal marker ( SLC17A7 , red), IN neuronal marker ( GAD1 , purple), and target probe ( MAPT , MAPK1 , FKBP5 and ENC1 , green) in the EC ( a ) and the BA9 ( b ) of human brain without pathological hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases (54–66 years old); dotted ovals represent individual EX or IN neurons. Three independent experiments were repeated with similar results. Scale bar, 10 μm. ( c , d ) Comparison of the number of single RNAs of the target probe in individual EX and IN neuron in the EC ( c ) and the BA9 ( d ) regions (n = 4 human brains, 10 neurons from each case). Data are presented as mean ± SEM. The statistical significance was assessed by two-tailed unpaired t test with Welch’s correction. *** P < 0.0001 vs IN neurons (The statistic is t=8.061, df=47; t=6.181 df=42; t=10.77, df=39 (c); and t=7.981, df=48; t=4.675, df=56; t=12.60, df=41 (d), respectively.).
