Fig. 8From: Involvement of Slit–Robo signaling in the development of the posterior commissure and concomitant swimming behavior in Xenopus laevis slit2/robo2-MO injected larvae represent the abnormal morphology of the posterior commissure. Neurons are visualized by immunohistochemistry (shown in green). a Lateral view of the brain in Xenopus larva. Dashed line indicates the outline of the brain regions. b–e Coronal sections at the level of the posterior commissure: b Slit2-control-MO, c Slit2-MO, d Robo2-control-MO and e Robo2-MO. In slit2/robo2-MO-injected larva, the bundle of the posterior commissure is thinner than that of control-MO. Blue staining show nucleus labeled by DAPI. Scale bars: 100 umBack to article page
