Fig. 3. Differential requirement of En genes for mouse midbrain and cerebellar
development. (A) Schematic illustrating the detailed expression
profile of each En allele (En1, En2 and
En1flox/Cre) within the mes/r1 region. (B-K) Cresyl
Violet-stained mid-sagittal sections of E18.5 brains with the corresponding
genotypes and all the functional En allele profiles indicated at the top.
Asterisks indicate forming fissures. Black arrows indicate truncated inferior
colliculus. The inset in F shows the lateral Cb tissue that forms in the
En1-/- mutants.
