Results
Specimen not shown: embryonic day 8.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS13: future midbrain Present
TS13: optic placode Present

Specimen 2A1: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: diencephalon Strong 2A1 From 9.5 to 11.5 dpc, expression is craniocaudally delimited to rostral region of developing nervous system. Anterior and posterior boundaries of expression coincide with those of the diencephalon and mesencephalon, respectively.
TS15: future midbrain Strong 2A1 From 9.5 to 11.5 dpc, expression is craniocaudally delimited to rostral region of developing nervous system. Anterior and posterior boundaries of expression coincide with those of the diencephalon and mesencephalon, respectively.

Specimen 2A2: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 2A2 Beginning from 10.5 dpc, expression progressively declines in anterior region.
TS17: midbrain Present Regionally restricted 2A2 Beginning from 10.5 dpc, expression progressively declines in anterior region.
TS17: midbrain-hindbrain junction Strong 2A2 Most intense expression coincides with midbrain-hindbrain boundary.
TS17: eye Present 2A2

Specimen 2A3: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: eye Present 2A3
TS19: diencephalon Present 2A3
TS19: metencephalon Present 2A3 Expression gradually enhanced in a craniocaudal direction within mesencephalon, metencephalon and myelencephalon.
TS19: midbrain Present 2A3 Expression gradually enhanced in a craniocaudal direction within mesencephalon, metencephalon and myelencephalon.
TS19: myelencephalon Present 2A3 Expression gradually enhanced in a craniocaudal direction within mesencephalon, metencephalon and myelencephalon.
