Results
Specimen 3C: postnatal day 0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: corpus callosum Present 3C
TS27: hippocampal commissure Present 3C
Specimen 3D: postnatal day 0; Ephb2tm1Paw/Ephb2tm1Paw, Ephb3tm1Kln/Ephb3tm1Kln (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: hippocampal commissure Present 3D
TS27: intercerebral commissure Present Regionally restricted 3D Expressed in Probst's bundles, callosal axons finding an alternative path via the hippocampal commissure.
Specimen 5I: postnatal day 0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: anterior commissure Present Regionally restricted 5I Expressed in the most anterior part.
Specimen 5J: postnatal day 0; Ephb2tm1Paw/Ephb2tm1Paw, Ephb3tm1Kln/Ephb3tm1Kln (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: anterior commissure Present Regionally restricted 5J Expressed in the most anterior part, but less well bundled compared with the wild-type.
Specimen 7C: postnatal day 0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 7C Expressed in tightly bundled habenular-interpeduncular tract axons.
Specimen 7D: postnatal day 0; Ephb2tm1Paw/Ephb2tm1Paw, Ephb3tm1Kln/Ephb3tm1Kln (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 7D Expressed in very short and loosely packed fibre bundled habenular-interpeduncular tract axons.
Specimen not shown: postnatal day 0; Ephb2tm1Paw/Ephb2tm1Paw, Ephb3tm1Kln/Ephb3tm1Kln (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted In contrast to commissural axons, the longitudinal habenular-interpeduncle tract axons did not show a defect in guidance.
