Figure S3. (A–C) Correlation of the transcript levels between the housekeeping genes in unfixed and unstained (Untreated; crosses) and ethanol and NeuroTrace-treated (EtOH/NT; circles) samples: (A) β-actin vs. 18S rRNA, (B) GAPDH vs. 18S rRNA, and (C) GAPDH vs. β-actin. (D–E) Correlation between the transcript levels of the housekeeping genes and Map2: (D) β-actin vs. Map2, (E) 18S rRNA vs. Map2, and (F) GAPDH vs. Map2. Values are expressed as copy number of transcripts per LMD tissue of 182 nm2 × cryosection thickness in volume. For untreated samples, n = 7 for 20 μm, n = 6 for 30 μm, and n = 8 for 40 μm; for fixed and stained samples, n = 7 for 20 μm, n = 7 for 30 μm, and n = 8 for 40 μm
