<i>neurod</i> expression is affected in <i>slc7a6os</i> morphants at 24 hpf.

<p>The expression of the neural marker <i>neurod</i> was analyzed by WISH at 24 hpf in control and <i>slc7a6os</i> morphants. In MO injected embryos no expression of <i>neurod</i> was detected in anterior and posterior ganglia while a down-regulation was observed in dorsal diencephalon, telencephalon and octave statoacustic ganglia (B, flat-mounted embryos). The altered expression pattern of <i>neurod</i> seen in morphants embryos is rescued by the expression of synthetic <i>slc7a6os</i> mRNA. Abbreviations: ad/av/f, anterodorsal/anteroventral lateral line/ facial placodes/ ganglia; dd, dorsal diencephalon; o, octaval/statoacustic ganglia; p, posterior lateral line ganglia; t, telencephalon.
