Note: This is an (anterior) frontal section through the diencephalon; also stained for Nrcam (assay MGI:2387141).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: optic nerve Present Uniform 4F
Specimen 4I: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Note: This is a (posterior) frontal section through the diencephalon; also stained for Nrcam (assay MGI:2387141).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: diencephalon Present 4I
Specimen 4L: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Note: This is a (dorsal) horizontal section through the diencephalon; also stained for Nrcam (assay MGI:2387141).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: optic nerve Present Graded 4L Staining is present in the retinal axons, but its level is diminished after the nerve crosses the midline.
Specimen 4O: embryonic day 14.5 (more )
Note: This is a (ventral) horizontal section through the diencephalon; also stained for Nrcam (assay MGI:2387141).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: optic nerve Present Graded 4O Staining is present in the retinal axons, but its level is diminished after the nerve crosses the midline.
Specimen 5B: embryonic day 16.5 (more )

TS24: retina nerve fiber layer Strong 5B Staining is present in the optic fiber layer.
TS24: optic nerve Strong 5B
Specimen 5E: embryonic day 16.5 (more )
Note: This is a frontal section through the optic chiasm region; also stained for Nrcam (assay MGI:2387141).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: optic chiasma Strong 5E Staining is present in the retinal axons.
Specimen 5H: embryonic day 16.5 (more )

Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: optic chiasma Present 5H Staining is present in the optic nerve, including where it traverses the chiasm region and where it enters the optical tracts in the lateral wall of the diencephalon.
TS24: optic tract Present 5H Staining is present in the optic nerve, including where it traverses the chiasm region and where it enters the optical tracts in the lateral wall of the diencephalon.
