Results
Specimen 3A: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: allocortex Present Regionally restricted 3A Expression formed a patch in the dentate neuroepithelium.

Specimen 3B: embryonic day 14.5; Emx2tm1Pgr/Emx2tm1Pgr (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: telencephalon Present Regionally restricted 3B Expressed in the basal ganglia, not in the dentate in the mutant.
TS22: basal ganglia Present 3B

Specimen 3C: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: hippocampus Present Regionally restricted 3C Expressed in the fimbrial neuroepithelium.
TS23: basal ganglia Present 3C
TS23: dentate gyrus primordium Present Regionally restricted 3C Expressed in the neuroepithelium immediately adjacent to the fimbria and a few radially migrating cells starting to form the secondary matrix.

Specimen 3D: embryonic day 15.5; Emx2tm1Pgr/Emx2tm1Pgr (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: dentate gyrus primordium Present Regionally restricted 3D A smaller but correctly placed patch at the very end of the primordium was seen, compared with the wild-type. No cells were detected migrating from it.
TS23: hippocampus Present Regionally restricted 3D A smaller but correctly placed patch at the very end of the primordium was seen, compared with the wild-type. No cells were detected migrating from it.
TS23: basal ganglia Present 3D

Specimen 3E: embryonic day 18.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: dentate gyrus Present Regionally restricted 3E Expressed in the ventricular and subventricular zones as well as in the migratory stream.

Specimen 3F: embryonic day 18.5; Emx2tm1Pgr/Emx2tm1Pgr (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: hippocampal fissure Weak 3F
