Fig. 1. Schematic diagrams of the mesencephalic and diencephalic auditory areas in X. laevis at the end of metamorphosis. The mesencephalic auditory nucleus, consisting of the principal nucleus (Tp), the laminar nucleus (Tl) and the magnocellular nucleus (Tmc), is divided into five equal parts by four coronal planes, A1 (caudal, c), A2 (caudomedial, cm), A3 (rostromedial, rm), and A4 (rostral, r). The diencephalic auditory regions, including the posterior thalamic nucleus (P) and the central thalamic nucleus (C), are divided into five equal parts by four coronal brain planes (B1, B2, B3, and B4). The locations of the above coronal planes in the brain are shown in the insert at the bottom (the rostral is to the right). These planes will be used in the following figures. Dorsal is up. Scale bar = 0.5 mm. For the abbreviations, see list. Image published in: Huang YF et al. (2011) Copyright © 2011. Image reproduced with permission of the Publisher, Elsevier B. V.
