Expression of GABAA α subunits at 24 hpf.

gabra1 (A, B), gabra2a (C, D), gabra2b (E, F), gabra3 (G, H), gabra4 (I, J), and gabra5 (K, L) were detected at this time point. Whole-mount lateral (A, C, E, G, I, K) views are shown along with dorsal views of the head (B, D, F, H, J, L). The scale bar (A) is 0.1 mm. The brackets in G, I, and K indicate the regions shown at higher magnification in the corresponding insets. The arrowheads within the insets indicate the dorsal and ventral boundaries of the spinal cord. Abbreviations: drc, dorsal rostral cluster; hbc, hindbrain cluster; op, olfactory placode; SC, spinal cord; t, tegmentum; vcc, ventral caudal cluster; vrc, ventral rostral cluster.

Expression of the GABAA α subunits in the brain at 48hpf.

gabra1 (A, B), gabra2a (C, D), gabra2b (E, F) gabra3 (G, H) gabra4 (I, J) gabra5 (K, L) and gabra6b (M, N) were detected at this time point. Lateral (A, C, E, G, I, K, M) and dorsal (B, D, F, H, J, L, N) views are shown. The scale bar (A) is 0.1 mm. Brackets in A, G, I, and K indicate the region shown in cross sections within the insets. Abbreviations: cb, cerebellum; di, diencephalon; hth, hypothalamus; M, Mauthner cell; mo, medulla oblongata; ob, olfactory bulb; p, pallium; sp, subpallium; t, tegmentum; th, thalamus.

Expression of the GABAA α subunits in the brain at 96hpf.

Transcripts encoding all α subunits were detected at this time point. Lateral (A, C, E, G, I, K, M, O) and dorsal (B, D, F, H, J, L, N, P) are shown The scale bar (A) is 0.1 mm. Abbreviations: cb, cerebellum; gcl; hth, hypothalamus; M, Mauthner cell; mo, medulla oblongata; ob, olfactory bulb; opn, optic nerve; p, pallium; pcl, photoreceptive cell layer; po, preoptic region; poc, post optic commissure; pta, posterior tubercular area; sp, subpallium; t, tegmentum; te, telencephalon; th, thalamus; to, tectum opticum.
