Figure 2. Sagittal sections through the forebrain of Xenopus at late embryonic stages (stage 43), hybridized from xEomes (A,B), xEmx1 (C,D), or xDll4 (E,F). Note the general expression of xEomes and xEmx1 in the pallium and developing mitral cell layer of the olfactory bulb (A–D). The ventral pallium is a pallial subdivision rich in xEomes (A) but having only scattered cells expressing xEmx1 (C). The subpallium, rich in cells expressing xDll4 (E,F), contains a few cells expressing xEomes or xEmx1 in the mantle (A,B). More caudally, the eminentia thalami (ET) appears as a distinct domain located rostrodorsal to the ventral thalamus (VT), rich in xEomes (A) but poor in xDll4 (E). Note the strong xEmx1 expression domain in the basal plate of prosomere 2 (p2b). See text for more details. For abbreviations , see list. Scale bar = 50 μm in A (applies to all).
