Dissection of MGEs from E14.5 mouse embryos. (A) View from the top of a E14.5 head. (B) View from the top of a E14.5 brain. (C) Scheme of a coronal hemisection of E14.5 mouse brain showing the lateral ganglionic eminence (LGE) and medial ganglionic eminence (MGE). DP, dorsal pallium; LP, lateral pallium; MP, medial pallium. (D–F) The same image is represented to remark different aspects described in the main text: (D) MGE exposed after lifting and moving aside the left cortical hemisphere; (E) Heart-like subcortical structure including MGE and LGE; (F) dotted lines 1 to 3 indicate in order the cuts made with the microscalpel to isolate the MGE; the bent arrow indicates the side for the last cut. (G) Brain as in (D–F) after removal of the MGE. The area where the MGE was present is indicated by the asterisk. (H) Isolated MGE. (I) Same brain as in (G) after lifting on the side the right cortical hemisphere to expose the second MGE.
