Figure 5


Fig. 5. Midline crossing and ventricle-directed migration of PGN and RTN neurons. (A) EYFP-labelled cells tangentially migrating across the midline of the pons in an E14.5 mouse. Arrowheads indicate radially deflected cells. (B) At E15.5, some EYFP-labelled cells accumulated on the ipsilateral side, while some others were still crossing the midline. (C) EYFP-labelled cells that had turned to become ventricle orientated before (arrowheads on the left) and after (arrowhead on the right) midline crossing. E14.5. (D) Labelled cells within the pons. E15.5. (E-G) High-power views of the rectangular areas marked e-g in D. Ventricle-directed neurons extended a trailing and a leading process (arrowheads in E and F). (F) A cell that had just changed its migratory direction from tangential to ventricle (arrowheads). (G) An RTN neuron that extended several dendrite-like processes. EYFP was electroporated into the left lRL. Transverse sections. Dorsal is upwards. Broken lines in A-E represent the positions of the midline. Scale bar: 50 µm for A-C; 100 µm for D; 20 µm for E-G.
