Pax6a but not Pax6b are required for habenular neurogenesis. Whole-mount in situ hybridization against cxcr4b (A-D) or brn3a (E-H) showing the epithalamus of wild type (A,E), pax6bsa86 mutant embryos (B,F), pax6a morpholino injected embryos (C,G) or pax6bsa8;pax6a morphant embryos (D,H) at 36 (A-D) or 48 (E-H) hpf. Whereas the expression of cxcr4b and brn3a appears unaffected in pax6bsa86 mutant embryos (B, n = 6/6 and F, n = 5/5) compared to the expression in wild type controls (A and E, n = 5/5), expression of both genes is abrogated after injection of morpholinos against pax6a in either wild type (C, n = 4/6 and G, n = 6/8) or pax6bsa8 embryos (D and H, n = 4/4). Embryos are viewed dorsally with anterior up. |
