Dorsal view of the head region in a zebrafish
embryo which has been stained to show neuron
development in the epiphysial region of the
diencephalon, part of the developing forebrain.
This is the region where neurons first develop in
the forebrain. In this 'floating head' mutant,
neurons which should be seen at this stage (see
wildtype B0001159C) are missing from this area.

Lateral view of the head region in a zebrafish
embryo which shows neuronal structure in the
epiphysial region of the diencephalon, part of
the developing forebrain. This is the region where
where neurons first develop in the forebrain.
Here, axons labelled with diI can be seen
extending from epiphysial projection neurons.

Dorsal view of the head region in a zebrafish
embryo which has been stained to show neuron
development in the epiphysial region of the
diencephalon, part of the developing forebrain.
This is the region where neurons first develop in
the forebrain. The neurons are labelled brown
while the blue label shows the area where the gene
'floating head' is expressed.

Wholemount image of the head region in a zebrafish
embryo which has been stained to show
photoreceptors in the epiphysial region of the
diencephalon, part of the developing forebrain.
This is the region where neurons first develop in
the forebrain. The photoreceptors extend short
axons which join together at the site where they
exit the epiphysis.

Dorsal view of the head region in a zebrafish
embryo which has been stained to show neuron
development in the epiphysial region of the
diencephalon, part of the developing forebrain.
This is the region where neurons first develop in
the forebrain. The neurons are labelled brown
in this wildtype (normal) embryo, but are missing
in the 'floating head' mutant (see B0001160C).
