Expression of transcription factors characterizing DA neurons of the prethalamus (group 1). A and B: overviews are like in Fig. 1A,B. Here, group 1 is framed by a circle in A. For each analyzed transcription factor, an overview of the whole head of 96 hpf embryos is presented in C, E, G, I, K, M and O (20–35 μm projections encompassing the prethalamus). A high magnification of prethalamic group 1 within the framed areas is shown in D, F, H, J, L, N and P, respectively (5–20 μm projections). An additional enlarged view of the framed areas in D, F, H, J, L, N and P is shown for each transcription factor at the right side of each row. Abbreviations: HB, hindbrain; PO, preoptic group; Pr, pretectal group; T, tectum; TC, telencephalic cluster; vDC, ventral diencephalic cluster; 1-6; diencephalic DA neuronal groups. Anterior is to the left. Scale bars: 50 μm.
