Figure 1.
Comparative Isl1/Nkx2.1 expression in the telencephalon. Photomicrographs of sagittal (A–C) and transverse (D–P) sections through the telencephalon of Protopterus dolloi (A–E), Neoceratodus forsteri (F,G,N–P) and Pleurodeles waltl (H–M). In the telencephalon, the combined immunohistochemical detection of Isl1 (green) and Nkx2.1 (red), expressed in the subpallium, clearly allowed the identification of the boundaries of this region and the identification of the marked areas. Arrowheads point to Nkx2.1 labeled cells in striatal and ventral pallial areas. Scale bars = 500 μm (A,B,D,K–M) and 200 μm (C,E–G,H–J,N–P). See list for abbreviations.
