Results
Specimen 4A/B: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: forebrain Present Regionally restricted 4A The rostral domain of expression coincided with the medial ganglionic eminence and surrounding structures including the anterior entopeduncular area and posterior preoptic area.
TS22: preoptic area Present Regionally restricted 4A Expression was detected in the posterior preoptic area.
TS22: anterior entopeduncular area Present 4A
TS22: medial ganglionic eminence Present 4A
TS22: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 4A , 4B The caudal domain extended in the alar plate from the area of the suprachiasmatic nucleus through the hypothalamic cell cord and posterior entopeduncular area into the ventral thalamus, or alar p3, and terminated abruptly at the zli.
TS22: hypothalamus Present Regionally restricted 4A Dlx-2 was expressed in the tuberal hypothalamus, with a sharp caudal boundary and a more diffuse rostral boundary.

Specimen 4C/D: embryonic day 14.5; Pax6Sey/Pax6Sey (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 4C In the caudal domain, expression appeared normal in alar tissue corresponding to the sch, hcc, pep and in the basal plate in the tuberal hypothalamus, and expression boundaries were similar to those in +/+ embryos, the rostral domain appeared normal.
TS22: hypothalamus Present Regionally restricted 4C In the caudal domain, expression appeared normal in alar tissue corresponding to the sch, hcc, pep and in the basal plate in the tuberal hypothalamus, and expression boundaries were similar to those in +/+ embryos, the rostral domain appeared normal.
TS22: thalamus Weak Regionally restricted 4C , 4D Dlx-2 expression was abnormal in the ventral thalamus. It was very weak and its caudal boundary appeared faded and diffuse in wholemounts.

Specimen 4E: embryonic day 14.5; Pax6Sey/Pax6Sey (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 4E In the caudal domain, expression appeared normal in alar tissue corresponding to the sch, hcc, pep and in the basal plate in the tuberal hypothalamus, and expression boundaries were similar to those in +/+ embryos, the rostral domain appeared normal.
TS22: hypothalamus Present Regionally restricted 4E In the caudal domain, expression appeared normal in alar tissue corresponding to the sch, hcc, pep and in the basal plate in the tuberal hypothalamus, and expression boundaries were similar to those in +/+ embryos, the rostral domain appeared normal.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 14.5; Pax6Sey/Pax6Sey (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: thalamus Trace Regionally restricted Dlx-2 expression was abnormal in the ventral thalamus. Labelling in the ventral thalamus was so weak that it was not seen clearly in sectioned material.
