Morphology of axonal tracts and Xlslit2 expression domain in the neural tube. Dorsal (a-c) and lateral (d-f) view of the developing Xenopus larva at stage 42. (A’-F’) High-magnification images of white squares in A-F. a, c Transcripts of Xlslit2. Xlslit2 mRNA is discontinuously expressed in the dorsal diencephalon. The anterior limit of Xlslit2 attach to the superficial region of the brain (arrow in D). b, e Axons in the CNS are visualized by immunohistochemistry (shown in green). Habenular and posterior commissures are visible. c, f Merged image of Xlslit2 (purple) and nerves (green). The anterior end of the PC corresponds to the anterior limit of Xlslit2 expression domain (arrow in F). Scale bars: 100 μm
