Results
Specimen 6a: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: This is a parasagittal section.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: cerebellum primordium Moderate Regionally restricted 6a Expression is present in a group of cells in the cerebellar differentiating zone.
TS20: midbrain Present Regionally restricted 6a There is high-medium expression in tegmentum, belonging to perioculomotor nuclei, the mesencephalic reticular formation, the substantia nigra, and the ventral tegmental area. Weak expression is present in the superior colliculus.
TS20: forebrain Present Graded 6a There is an inside-out expression gradient.
TS20: telencephalon Present Regionally restricted 6a Expression is present in the ventral telencephalon.
TS20: lateral ganglionic eminence Present Regionally restricted 6a Expression is present in the striatal differentiating zone.
TS20: hypothalamus Present Regionally restricted 6a Expression is present in the anterior and posterior preoptic area and suprachiasmatic nuclei.
TS20: thalamus Present Regionally restricted 6a Expression is present in the ventral thalamus. There is no expression in the principal thalamic nuclei.
TS20: medulla oblongata Present Regionally restricted 6a Expression is present in the differentiating zone. There is no expression in domains in rhombomere 6.

TS20: pancreas Present Patchy 6a Expression is present in isolated patches.
TS20: medial ganglionic eminence Present Regionally restricted 6a There is medium-high expression in the pallidal differentiating zone, with the strongest signal in the presumptive secondary proliferative population.

Specimen 6b: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: This is a parasagittal section.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: cerebellum primordium Present 6b
TS20: midbrain Present Regionally restricted 6b Medium-high expression is present in the pretectal area & dorsal tegmentum, belonging to perioculomotor nuclei, the mesencephalic reticular formation, the substantia nigra, & the ventral tegmental area. Weak expression is in the superior colliculus.
TS20: forebrain Present Graded 6b There is an inside-out expression gradient.
TS20: medial ganglionic eminence Moderate Regionally restricted 6b There is medium-high expression in the pallidal differentiating zone, with the strongest signal in the presumptive secondary proliferative population.
TS20: hypothalamus Present Regionally restricted 6b Expression is seen in the anterior/posterior preoptic area, suprachiasmatic nuclei, & cell cord. Weak expression is in the retrochiasmatic & tuberal area. No expression is in the anterior dorsal nucleus, mammillary area or supraoptic-paraventricular area.
TS20: thalamus Present Regionally restricted 6b Expression is present in the ventral thalamus, including in the subthalamic sulcus. There is no expression in the principal thalamic nuclei.
TS20: medulla oblongata Present Regionally restricted 6b Expression is present in the differentiating zone.
TS20: spinal cord Present Regionally restricted 6b Expression is present in the ventricular zone of the entire dorsal horn, in part of the intermediate zone, and in the corresponding differentiating zone. The ventral horn is nearly free of signal.
