Caption (A-C) A ventral view of the forebrain region dissected out of E9.5 embryos after whole-mount in situ hybridization. Arrowhead in C, limit of Pax2 expression at the insertion of the optic stalk in the basis of the diencephalon. (D-I) Ventral views of the diencephalon, together with the optic stalks and developing eyes, dissected out of E11.5 embryos after whole-mount in situ hybridization. (D,F) A control specimen photographed under dark-field and bright-field illumination, respectively. (E,G) Dark- and bright-field photographs of a mutant specimen. (I) A different mutant specimen shown under dark-field illumination. (H) A control embryo. Arrowheads in D to G point to the limits of the presence of Shh-expressing cells in the preoptic area (upper arrowhead) and basis of the hypothalamus (lower arrowhead). Asterisk in I shows the presence of Shh-expressing cells in the optic stalk. Arrow in H points to the Pax-2 expressing cells across the midline. (J) Scheme summarizing the observations. oe, optic evagination; ey, eye; os, optic stalk; poa, preoptic area; or, optic recess; vh, ventral hypothalamus.
