Fig. 3

Astroglia do not initiate IHF remodeling in marsupials. Immunofluorescence was performed for Gap43 (red) and Laminin (green) to compare commissure formation and IHF development, and for Glast (red) and Gfap (green) to compare midline glial development in mice (a, c, and e) and dunnarts (b, d, and f) at equivalent developmental stages. The plane of each horizontal section (red dotted line) is represented by a mid-sagittal schematic on the right of each panel in af. Brackets indicate the distribution of the IHF (green) and commissural axons along the interhemispheric midline (yellow). Arrowheads indicate the distribution of MZG and MZG-like cells (red arrowheads) as well as the position of the third ventricle (3V; white arrowheads) along the interhemispheric midline. AC, anterior commissure; CC, corpus callosum; Fx, fornix; HC, hippocampal commissure
