Bar Plot from Scientific Research

Heatmap representing neuron classes in which expression of receptors for the specified neurotransmitter ligand (yaxis) were consistent in all 3 species (gray) or altered (colored). Expression was considered altered if a neuron class expresses 2 receptors of a certain type in at least one species and 0 receptors in another species. Inhibitory, excitatory, and modulatory receptors for a same ligand were considered separately. Cumulative data are represented in bar plots on the right. Full data inFigure S5, information about included receptors inData S2A. Several acetylcholine receptors were broadly expressed throughout the nervous system, which meant the strict criteria for receptor divergence was not met by cholinergic receptors.
