Results
Specimen 2j: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: Sample was postfixed in 4% paraformaldehyde.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: midbrain Present Regionally restricted 2j A double gradiental expression of En1 overlaps with the isthmic organizer and characterizes the neighboring areas rostral and caudal to the IMB (isthmo-mesencephalic transverse boundary), penetrating maximally about one-third into the caudal basal midbrain, and less so dorsally.
TS19: midbrain-hindbrain junction Present 2j
TS19: metencephalon Present Regionally restricted 2j There is a specular En1 gradient extending into the rostral hindbrain, possibly reaching the rh1 rhombomere.
