Figure 1. Compartmentation of the primate germinal zones.

Figure 1

A 5 micron thick Nissl stained parasaggital sections cutting through area 17 and area 18 germinal zones at E64. B 5 micron thick Nissl stained parasaggital sections cutting through area 17 and area 18 germinal zones at E78. C H3 immunolabelling showing the location of mitosis in area 17 germinal zones at E78. Abventricular mitosis are observed in the ISVZ and OSVZ. Adjacent microphotograph shows fluorescent nuclei staining with Propidium Iodide. D H3 immunolabelling showing the location of mitosis in area 18 germinal zones at E78. Adjacent microphotograph shows fluorescent nuclei staining with Propidium Iodide. E 5 micron thick eosin-haematoxyllin stained section of the germinal zones of area 17 at E64. Mitotic figures are observed in the ISVZ and OSVZ as indicated on the chart. F High power microphotograph showing abventricular mitosis from the insert in panel E. Abbreviations, CP cortical plate, IFL inner fiber layer, ISVZ inner subventricular zone, MZ marginal zone, OFL outer fiber layer, OSVZ outer subventricular zone, SP subplate, VZ ventricular zone, WM white matter. Scale bars: A to E : 100 microns, F : 10 microns.
