nervous system
• when tamoxifen is administered at E10.5, rhombomere 1 (r1) is reduced in size in mutants at E12.5
• anterior r1 cells contribute to more lateral regions of vermis than normal
• when tamoxifen is administered at E10.5, mesencephalon is reduced in size at E12.5 relative to normal
• marked cells in posterior mesencephalon do not expand normally
• when tamoxifen is administered at E10.5, size of marked domain is smaller than wild-type at E16.5
• in adults, marked domain in tectum is greatly reduced compared to wild-type; marked domain is restricted to remaining region of inferior colliculus
• when tamoxifen is administered at E10.5, size of marked cell population is wider in mutants than in controls at E16.5
• in adults, marked domain is broader than normal
• in adults, vermis is reduced in size
