Results
Specimen 1A: embryonic day 9.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS14: future diencephalon Strong Regionally restricted 1A Strong expression dorsally throughout presumptive diencephalon. Two regions of strong expression one just anterior to the forebrain-midbrain boundary, the other adjacent to and in the optic vesicles - with lower levels in the intervening region.

Specimen 1B: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 1B Within field of expression in posterior diencephalon, close to forebrain-midbrain boundary, high levels of expression in bilaterally symmetric arrays of cells.

Specimen 1D: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 1D Major changes in expression coincide with compartment boundaries.
TS19: prosomere 1 Strong 1D Strong expression in prosomere 1 (synencephalon)
TS19: prosomere 2 Present 1D Lower levels in prosomere 2 (presumptive dorsal thalamus). Strong expression in prospective epithalamus; lower levels laterally.
TS19: prosomere 3 Strong Regionally restricted 1D Particularly strong expression prosomere 3 (presumptive ventral thalamus).
TS19: prethalamus Strong Regionally restricted 1D Strongest expression in zona incerta, flanked ventrally and posteriorly by regions of lower expression.

Specimen 3B: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 3B

Specimen 6 control: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 6_control

Specimen 6 Sey/Sey: embryonic day 11.5; Pax6Sey/Pax6Sey (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 6_Sey/Sey Anterior expression with diffuse posterior limit. Expression absent from posterior diencephalon.
