Effects of overexpression of gbx2 and gbx2-?NCR on brain development. Embryos were injected with gbx2 mRNA of 30 pg/embryo (high dose) and gbx2-?NCR mRNA of 100 pg/embryo and examined at 28 hpf for the expression of brain regional markers shown on the left. Lateral (a?f) and dorsal (g?l) views are shown. For the embryos expressing gbx2 and gbx2-?NCR, typically affected embryos were chosen and subject to whole mount in situ hybridization, and all the embryos examined assumed the expression patterns shown here. Normal and disrupted isthmuses are marked with solid and open large triangles, respectively. di, diencephalon; ey, eye; tec, tectum; tel, telencephalon. Scale bars, 100 µm.
