From: Pax7 is requisite for maintenance of a subpopulation of superior collicular neurons and shows a diverging expression pattern to Pax3 during superior collicular development

Figure 8

A diagrammatic representation of the primary layers of the developing superior colliculus. The laminae of the developing superior colliculus contain two populations of cells that populate the upper (SS), mid (SI) and lower (SP) regions. At E15, cells generated at E11 populate the SS and SP, whereas cells generated at E13 intersect these regions to populate the SI, with a subsequent migration of a subpopulation upwards to the SS by E17. Thus, the SS consists of two different populations of cells, with the most recently generated cells residing in the more superficial regions. Adapted from [14]. Abbrev. SS, strata superficiale; SI, intermedium; SP, profundum. "Cells Migrated" column relates to the developmental timepoint when the cells have migrated to their final destination.
