Fig. 1. — Definition of distinct cell populations in the elongating neural axis. (A) Definition of distinct cell populations along the stage 10 neural axis: stem zone (SZ), epiblast adjacent to the node/rostral primitive streak, also known as the caudal lateral epiblast; preneural tube (PNT), the open neural plate rostral to the node and two presumptive somites away from the last somite formed (somite I); caudal neural tube (CNT), the neural tube next to the last three formed somites (I to III); rostral neural tube (RNT), the neural tube flanked by somites 2 to 4. (B) Examples of known genes differentially expressed in each comparison made along the neural axis. Scale bar: 100 µm.
