Abstract excerpt
The Krox-20 null mutation results in a loss of rhombomeres 3 and 5, which give rise to neurons that are essential to oral motor behaviors. Thus, the Krox-20 null mutant is an excellent model to investigate the development of oral motor circuitry. Our morphological examination of embryonic and neonatal Krox-20 null mutants revealed that a significant reduction of anterior digastric and mylohyoid muscles, the...
