p.367 left column bottom paragraph: "Multiple lines of evidence from genomic, immuno-histochemical and physiological studies further point to the potential for vast diversity and its significant implications. It is now well known that within the brain, multiple isoforms of synaptic proteins are expressed differentially between different brain regions and neural cell types [ref 13, primary source]. For example, the Allen Brain project used in situ hybridization to localize 20,000 different genes at the level of single neurons in the mouse brain [primary source]. The analysis revealed that 70% of the genes were expressed in less than 20% of the cells, implying a high degree of molecular variability between cell types." |
