Figure 2. Lateralization of the nervous system in Zebrafish and chicken. A: Asymmetry of the epithalamus and lateralization of eye use in Zebrafish. Nodal from the lateral plate mesoderm induces its own expression in the left habenula. FGF and Nodal act together to ensure directional asymmetry of the epithalamus. B: Lateralization of eye use in chicken. A, anterior; Hb, habenula; L, left; LHb, lateral habenula (green); LPM, lateral plate mesoderm; MHb, medial habenula (blue); P, posterior; Po, pineal organ (purple); Pp, parapineal organ (purple); R, right.
