Larger Image Fig. 2. insm1 expression in the developing brain. A – C. Diagrammatic representation of selected brain regions as viewed in dorsally (A), ventrally (B) or laterally (C). D – L. Whole mount in situ hybridizations of stage 45 dissected brains using probes for insm1 (D – F), foxn4 (G – I), or lhx5 (J – L). insm1 is expressed in the dorsal pallium, optic tectum and rhombomeres as viewed dorsally (D). insm1 expression was also detected ventrally (E) and laterally (F) in the hypothalamus, preoptic area and isthmus. Scale bars (1 μM) are indicated in (D) for (D – F), (G) for (G – I) and (J) for (J – L). Abbreviations: DP – dorsal pallium, H – hypothalamus, IS – isthmus, OB – olfactory bulb, OT – optic tectum, PO – preoptic area, RF – reticular formation, R – rhombomeres.
