Results
Specimen 2n: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: Sample was postfixed in 4% paraformaldehyde.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: midbrain ventricular layer Present Widespread 2n
TS19: midbrain Present Graded 2n Expression showed a decreasing dorsocaudal gradient from the ventricular zone. Signal was sharply absent at a slightly evaginated part of the caudal midbrain neuroepithelium that covers the classic transverse sulcus intraencephalicus posterior.
TS19: midbrain mantle layer Present Regionally restricted 2n Some expression was detected in the mantle ventrally.

Specimen 2o: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: Sample was postfixed in 4% paraformaldehyde.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: midbrain ventricular layer Present Widespread 2o Widespread expression was detected in the midbrain ventricular zone, except for weak expression in the caudal sulcal area ventricular zone.

Specimen 4k: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Note: Sample was postfixed in 4% paraformaldehyde.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS22: midbrain mantle layer Present 4k
TS22: superior colliculus Present 4k
TS22: inferior colliculus Weak 4k
TS22: midbrain Present Regionally restricted 4k The preisthmic ventricular zone (including the sulcal area) was positive.
TS22: midbrain-hindbrain junction Weak Regionally restricted 4k The isthmic ventricular zone showed a weak signal.

Specimen 7c: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Note: Sample was postfixed in 4% paraformaldehyde.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: midbrain ventricular layer Present Regionally restricted 7c Expression was detected in the ventricular zone of the preisthmus.
TS23: inferior colliculus Absent 7c
TS23: midbrain-hindbrain junction Absent 7c

Specimen 7d: embryonic day 15.5 (more )
Note: Sample was postfixed in 4% paraformaldehyde.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: midbrain ventricular layer Present Regionally restricted 7d Expression was detected in the ventricular zone of the preisthmus and superior colliculus.
TS23: superior colliculus Present Regionally restricted 7d Expression was detected in the ventricular zone of the preisthmus and superior colliculus.
TS23: inferior colliculus Absent 7d
TS23: midbrain-hindbrain junction Absent 7d
