  • Number of GFP+ neurons as seen in different dopaminergic subsets (mean ± SEM) in brain hemispheres expressing CaLexA under the TH GAL4 driver in wild-type and pdfr 5304 backgrounds during day (ZT4) and night (ZT14) time points. Numbers in parentheses indicate overall number of neurons of different subsets per hemisphere that are TH GAL4-positive as seen from data in Mao and Davis (2009). aNumber of neurons per brain.
