Results
Specimen 3A: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: telencephalon ventricular layer Present Graded 3A Expressed in a high to low medial to lateral gradient across the dorsal telencephalon ventricular zone.
TS17: telencephalon Present Graded 3A Expressed across the A-P axis of dorsal telencephalon, with a shallow high to low A-P gradient. Also expressed robustly in the lateral ganglionic eminence and at lower levels in the medial ganglionic eminence.
TS17: brain floor plate Present Regionally restricted 3A Expression overlaps with the Fgf8 expression domain in the commissural plate.

Specimen 3B: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: telencephalon ventricular layer Present Graded 3B Expressed in a high to low medial to lateral gradient across the dorsal telencephalon ventricular zone.
TS17: telencephalon Present Graded 3B Expressed across the A-P axis of dorsal telencephalon, with a shallow high to low A-P gradient. Also expressed robustly in the lateral ganglionic eminence and at lower levels in the medial ganglionic eminence.
TS17: brain floor plate Present Regionally restricted 3B Expression overlaps with the Fgf8 expression domain in the commissural plate.

Specimen 3D: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: telencephalon ventricular layer Present Graded 3D Expressed in a high to low medial to lateral gradient across the dorsal telencephalon ventricular zone.
TS19: telencephalon Present Graded 3D Expressed across the A-P axis of dorsal telencephalon, with a shallow high to low A-P gradient.
TS19: brain floor plate Strong Regionally restricted 3D Expression largely excluded from the midline (Fgf8 domain), and expressed in a high to low gradient extending laterally from the midline.

Specimen 3E: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note

TS19: telencephalon Present Graded 3E Expressed across the A-P axis of dorsal telencephalon, with a shallow high to low A-P gradient. Also expressed robustly in the lateral ganglionic eminence.
TS19: brain floor plate Strong Regionally restricted 3E Expression largely excluded from the midline (Fgf8 domain), and expressed in a high to low gradient extending laterally from the midline.

Specimen 3G: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: telencephalon ventricular layer Present Graded 3G Expressed in a high to low medial to lateral gradient across the dorsal telencephalon ventricular zone. Expression was substantially diminished.
TS21: telencephalon Present Graded 3G Expressed across the A-P axis of dorsal telencephalon, with a shallow high to low A-P gradient. Expression was excluded from the increasingly restricted Fgf8 domain in the commissural plate.

Specimen 3H: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: telencephalon ventricular layer Present Graded 3H Expressed in a high to low medial to lateral gradient across the dorsal telencephalon ventricular zone.
TS21: telencephalon Present Graded 3H Expressed across the A-P axis of dorsal telencephalon, with a shallow high to low A-P gradient. Expression was excluded from the increasingly restricted Fgf8 domain in the commissural plate.
TS21: lateral ganglionic eminence Strong 3H

Specimen 3J: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
