Results
Specimen 3C: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: future forebrain Present Regionally restricted 3C Expression in forebrain and midbrain with caudal limit at mid/hindbrain junction.
TS15: future midbrain Present Regionally restricted 3C Expression in forebrain and midbrain with caudal limit at mid/hindbrain junction.

Specimen 3D: embryonic day 9.5; Emx2tm1Sia/Emx2tm1Sia, Otx2tm1Sia/Otx2+ (more )
Note: Emx2 and Otx2 heterozygotes were maintained by crosses with CBA mice. Single Emx2 and Otx2 heterozygotes (from F3 and F5 generations, respectively) were mated to generate double heterozygotes, which were subsequently mated to generate the double mutants.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: future forebrain Present Regionally restricted 3D Expression was greatly reduced in double mutants, particularly in the region caudal to the sulcus telodiencephalicus. Caudal limit shifted rostrally and expression was restricted to the more dorsal region.
TS15: future midbrain Present Regionally restricted 3D Expression was greatly reduced in double mutants, particularly in the region caudal to the sulcus telodiencephalicus. Caudal limit shifted rostrally and expression was restricted to the more dorsal region.

Specimen 4A: embryonic day 8.0; Otx2tm1Sia/Otx2+ (more )
Note: 6-somite stage. Otx2 heterozygotes were maintained by crosses with CBA mice.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: future midbrain Present Regionally restricted 4A Distinct caudal limit of expression at isthmus.
TS12: future prosencephalon Present Regionally restricted 4A Distinct caudal limit of expression at isthmus.

Specimen 4B: embryonic day 8.0; Emx2tm1Sia/Emx2tm1Sia, Otx2tm1Sia/Otx2+ (more )
Note: 6-somite stage. Emx2 and Otx2 heterozygotes were maintained by crosses with CBA mice. Single Emx2 (F3 gen.) and Otx2 (F5 gen.) heterozygotes were mated to generate double heterozygotes, which were subsequently mated to generate the double mutants.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: future midbrain Present Regionally restricted 4B Greatly reduced region of expression.
TS12: future prosencephalon Present Regionally restricted 4B Greatly reduced region of expression.

Specimen 5A,5B: embryonic day 8.0 (more )
Note: 3-somite stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: future brain Present Regionally restricted 5B , 5A Authors report expression in anterior neuroectoderm.

Specimen 5M,5N: embryonic day 8.0; Emx2tm1Sia/Emx2tm1Sia, Otx2tm1Sia/Otx2+ (more )
Note: 3-somite stage. Emx2 and Otx2 heterozygotes were maintained by crosses with CBA mice. Single Emx2 (F3 gen.) and Otx2 (F5 gen.) heterozygotes were mated to generate double heterozygotes, which were subsequently mated to generate the double mutants.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: future brain Present Regionally restricted 5N , 5M Otx2-positive domain was reduced both rostrocaudally and lateromedially (future dorsoventrally).

Specimen 5C,5D: embryonic day 8.0 (more )
Note: 4-somite stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: future brain Present Regionally restricted 5C , 5D Authors report expression in anterior neuroectoderm.

Specimen 5O,5P: embryonic day 8.0; Emx2tm1Sia/Emx2tm1Sia, Otx2tm1Sia/Otx2+ (more )
Note: 4-somite stage. Emx2 and Otx2 heterozygotes were maintained by crosses with CBA mice. Single Emx2 (F3 gen.) and Otx2 (F5 gen.) heterozygotes were mated to generate double heterozygotes, which were subsequently mated to generate the double mutants.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: future brain Present Regionally restricted 5O , 5P Rostrocaudal reduction of the Otx2-positive domain was more apparent at the 4-somite stage compared to the 6-somite stage.
