Summary of the Defects Observed in the Sox10 Mutant Embryo

(A) Schematization of the cut planes (a and b) drawn in (B) on the head of an E14.5 mouse embryo.

(B) Summary of the defects observed in the Sox10 homozygous mutant embryos (Sox10^lacZ/lacZ, right panel) compared to wild-type embryos (left panel). The OECs are shown in green, the nerve fibers are in blue, and the GnRH-synthesizing cells are in red. Abbreviations are as follows: OE, olfactory epithelium; OB, olfactory bulb; POA, preoptic area; and VNO, vomeronasal organ.
