Expression of transcription factors characterizing DA neurons of the ventral diencephalon (groups 2–7). A and B: overviews are like in Fig. 1A,B. Here, the diencephalic groups from 2 to 6 are framed by a circle in A, group 7 in the caudal hypothalamus is indicated by an arrow. In B, group 7 is not comprised in the optical planes used to generate the z-projection, and the other groups are numbered according to Rink and Wullimann (2002). At the left side of each row the analyzed transcription factors are indicated (see results). Abbreviations: HB, hindbrain; PO, preoptic group; Pr, pretectal group; T, tectum; TC, telencephalic cluster; 1-7; diencephalic DA neuronal groups 1 to 7. All images from C to S are dorsal views, anterior is to the left. All larvae are shown at 96 hpf, unless specified. Scale bars: 50 μm.
