That analysis should distinguish between sub-anatomic regions of the cerebellar cortex (identified by the presence/absence of ALDOC also known as Zebrin II) because Purkinje cells in these two regions in rodents are known to differ in sensitivity to genetic, chemical and physical insults and perinatal infection with at least one viral infection, Borna disease virus (Williams et al., 2007; Cerminara et al., 2015). The gene discussed is ALDOC; the disease is viral infectious disease.
