FIGURE 5. Neuronal birth during pallial development. (A) Schematic drawing illustrating the experimental approach used, in which BrdU was administrated at the stages specified and the animals were sacrificed at the larval stages indicated. (B–E) Micrographs of transverse sections through the pallium of Xenopus laevis at premetamorphic (B), prometamorphic (C,D) and metamorphic (E) stages. Twenty four hour after the BrdU administration almost all the positive cells were concentrated in the ventricular zone (B) and additionally abventricular BrdU+ cells were found (arrowhead in B). 15 days after the BrdU, labeled cells were found away from the ventricle in adjacent layers (C). Similarly, 30 days (D) and 60 days (E) after the administration, the BrdU+ cells migrated to more superficial positions. Scale bars = 100 μm (B–E). See list for abbreviations.
