Results
Specimen S1: embryonic day 16.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS24: brainstem Present S1 Authors report incipient expression in brainstem.

Specimen 1A: postnatal day 1 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: brain Weak Regionally restricted 1A Expression is scarce, except for brainstem.
TS27: brainstem Present Regionally restricted 1A Expression mainly in area closest to edges.

Specimen 1B: postnatal day 3 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: diencephalon Present Regionally restricted 1B Expression in diencephalon more intense than at P1, with increased expression towards pial borders.

Specimen 1C: postnatal day 7 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: brain Present Regionally restricted 1C Increased abundance and distribution of expression, mainly in glial limitans zones.
TS28: cerebral cortex Present Regionally restricted 1C Expression around entire cortex, and much more extended in dorsal and rostral cortical area.
TS28: cerebellum Strong Regionally restricted 1C Intense expression in cerebellum, concentrating on external border or crest, with especially intense expression in deep layers of crest.

Specimen 1C': postnatal day 7 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: lateral ventricle ependyma Weak Regionally restricted 1C' Light expression in ependymal cells bordering lateral ventricle.
TS28: corpus callosum Strong 1C' Intense expression above ventricle, in corpus callosum.

Specimen 1D: postnatal day 56 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: brain Present Regionally restricted 1D Expression glia limitans.
TS28: lateral ventricle ependyma Strong Regionally restricted 1D Intense expression in ependymal cells in ventricle.
TS28: cerebral cortex Present Regionally restricted 1D Expression in external layers of cortex.
TS28: cerebellum Present Regionally restricted 1D Expression in outer layers of crest. No expression in most internal white matter zone of crest.

Specimen 1D': postnatal day 56 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: corpus callosum Weak Regionally restricted 1D' Expression disappears almost completely from corpus callosum.
