–, No signal; –/+, Extremely weak signal, generally restricted to few scattered cells; +, Weak signal; ++, Moderate signal; +++, Strong signal.
aPax6 shows a gradiental expression, from [rostral]low to [caudal]high. Moreover, the expression at rostral levels has declined compared to previous stages.
