Expression of Lhx2 and Lhx9 in mouse embryonic telencephalon at early stages. Digital images of coronal sections of mouse embryonic telencephalon (A–H: E12.5; I–K: E13.5), from intermediate (left panels) to caudal (right panels) levels, hybridized for Lhx2 (A–D) or Lhx9 (I–K). Note the strong expression in the ventricular zone of the medial pallium. As noted previously, Lhx9 is also distinctly expressed in ventral pallial (VP) derivatives, such as part of the basal amygdalar complex (BC) and cortical amygdalar areas (Co, PMCo). Although weak transient expression is also present in part of the dorsal pallium (DP; Rétaux et al., 1999), this pallial sector is clearly distinguished from MP and VP based on its distinct position and combinatorial genetic profile (Puelles et al., 2000; Abellán et al., 2009). For abbreviations see list. Scale bar: (A) = 200 μm (applies to all).
