Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) UMAP representation of 2596 nuclei isolated after SNr microdissection, colored by assigned cluster (top) and cell type label (bottom). (B) SNr cluster identity mapped to Allen Brain Cell Atlas mouse taxonomy with MapMyCells. UMAP representations of SNr GABAergic neurons from 1B colored by ABCA supertype (top left) or ABCA cluster (bottom left). Number and proportion of neurons per cluster mapping to corresponding ABCA label (right). (C) RNAscope reveals marker distribution within SNr. Scale bars are 250µm, inset and rightside panel scalebars are 100µm. (D) Violin plots showing average expression of Gad2 and Pvalb per SNr cluster. (E) Proportion of Foxp2 + , Pou6f2 + , Tmem132c + and Scn5a + neurons labeled by RNAscope that colocalize with Pvalb . N = 3 mice, 6 slides, Foxp2 : 279 neurons, Pou6f2 : 335 neurons, Tmem132c : 150 neurons, Scn5a : 187 neurons. (F) Relative intensity of Pvalb expression in Foxp2 + , Pou6f2 + , Tmem132c + and Scn5a + neurons colocalizing with Pvalb . N = 3 mice, 6 slides, Foxp2 : 225 neurons, Pou6f2 : 153 neurons, Tmem132c : 31 neurons, Scn5a : 71 neurons. Data are represented as mean ± SEM. *: p < 0.0001.
