Abstract excerpt
This study tested the hypothesis that changes in the patterns of pax-6 expression disrupt the anatomy and axonogenesis of the diencephalic areas of the eyeless axolotl. Proper pax-6 expression is necessary for eye and hypothalamus morphogenesis. Since the expression boundaries of pax-6 also provide a permissive environment for axonal outgrowth, an extensive study examining the effects of the eyeless gene (e) in...
