Results
Specimen 3M: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: telencephalon Present Regionally restricted 3M Expression in anterior neural ridge and roof at position of telodiencephalicus.
TS15: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 3M Expression in anterior neural ridge and roof at position of telodiencephalicus.
TS15: future hindbrain Present Regionally restricted 3M Expression at isthmus.
TS15: future midbrain Present Regionally restricted 3M Expression at isthmus.

Specimen 3N: 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: telencephalon Present Regionally restricted 3N Expression in the anterior neural ridge; absent in the roof at the position of the telodiencephalicus or the roof of the ventral thalamus.
TS15: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 3N Expression in the anterior neural ridge; absent in the roof at the position of the telodiencephalicus or the roof of the ventral thalamus.
TS15: future hindbrain Present Regionally restricted 3N Region of isthmic expression shifted anteriorly in the double mutant.
TS15: future midbrain Present Regionally restricted 3N Region of isthmic expression shifted anteriorly in the double mutant.

Specimen 4K: embryonic day 8.0 (more )
Note: 6-somite stage.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: future hindbrain Present Regionally restricted 4K Expression confined to future isthmus.
TS12: future midbrain Present Regionally restricted 4K Expression confined to future isthmus.

Specimen 4L: 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 hindbrain Present Regionally restricted 4L Expression at future isthmus, less distinct in double mutants.
TS12: future midbrain Present Regionally restricted 4L Expression at future isthmus, less distinct in double mutants.

Specimen 8K: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: future forebrain Present Regionally restricted 8K Expression was detected in the anterior neural ridge and the roof at the position of the telodiencephalicus.
