Fig. 1. x-Pax6 expression in the developing and adult Xenopus forebrain. Schematic drawings of lateral views of the brain (a, e, and i) at the indicated period of Xenopus development, where x-Pax-6 expression is indicated in blue (anterior is left, dorsal is up). Photomicrographs of transverse and sagittal sections through the telencephalon, at embryonic and larval stages, after in situ hybridization for x-Pax6, whose level is indicated on the corresponding drawing. (b–c). Sagittal (a) and transverse (c,d) sections through the brain of a late embryo showing x-Pax-6 expression pattern at rostral telencephalic (c) and diencephalic levels (d). (f–h). Sagittal (f) and transverse (g,h) sections through the brain of a premetamorphic larva showing x-Pax-6 expression pattern at telencephalic (g) and diencephalic levels (h). (j–l). Transverse sections through the brain of a prometamorphic larva showing x-Pax-6 expression pattern at telencephalic (j,k) and diencephalic levels (l). Schematic drawings of a transverse hemisection (o,q) and photomicrographs (p,r) of transverse sections through the adult Xenopus forebrain, showing x-Pax-6 expression in the telencephalon (p) and diencephalon (r). Sections levels are indicated in the schematic drawing of an adult brain in lateral view (m). Scale bars = 100 μm.
