• when tamoxifen is given on E15, choroid epithelial cells as well as the entire structures appear unaltered in size; however, at P7, fourth ventricular choroid plexus is much smaller (decreased rostrocaudally, not lateral to medial) compared to controls

• with tamoxifen induction on E9 of gestation, the four choroid plexuses in the forebrain (including the third ventricular choroid plexus anlage) and hindbrain are virtually absent in E13 embryos; in some embryos a small remnant is found caudally but this tissue is not transthyretin-positive as expected
