Fig. 7. Photomicrographs of dissected brains treated in toto (a–c)
or transverse sections (d–i) showing the expression of x-Lhx2 and
x-Lhx9 in the developing Xenopus forebrain at different stages (St).
a: Lateral view of the brain of an early premetamorphic larva illustrating
the regional pattern of x-Lhx2 expression. b: Dorsal view of
the brain of a late embryo illustrating the regional pattern of x-Lhx9
expression. The asterisk indicates expression in the ventral portion of
the medial telencephalic wall. c: Detail of a dorsal view of the diencephalon
and tectum of the brain of a mid-premetamorphic larva
stained for x-Lhx2 expression, showing the developing habenula and
dorsal thalamus. d: Section through the pallium at embryonic stages.
e: Habenular complex showing a strong expression in the ventral
portion. f: Ventral pallium with a strong staining in the lateral portion
of the amygdala and scattered cells in the lateral septum.
g: Lateral amygdala and BST. h,i: Developing thalamus from rostral
(h) to caudal levels (i) with the characteristic strong expression in the
dorsal thalamus. The orientation of the sections showed in h and i is
indicated by lines in a. For abbreviations, see list. Scale bars 100
m in a–i. |
