Fig. 6. Normal number of interneurons in the neocortex and hippocampus of Slit1;Slit2 double mutants. Coronal sections through intermediate (A-F) and caudal (G-L) levels of the telencephalon of E18.5 wild-type (A,B,G,H) and Slit1;Slit2 mutant (C,D,I,J) mice stained with anti-calbindin antibodies. (B,C) High magnification of the regions boxed in A and D, respectively. (E,F) Nissl staining of sections adjacent to B and C, respectively.
