Tg(lhx5:GFP)b1205

About

 This transgenic line recapitulates the expression of lhx5 transcription factor. Generated by the Westerfield lab using BAC transgenesis. A kaede version of this line is also available. This transgenic has been used to study pathfinding in early telencephalic development (Guo et al., 2012; Zhang et al., 2012, Turner et al., 2019) and also to look at areas afferent to the habenula at later stages of development (Turner et al., 2016).

Expressed in: 

 olfactory bulb, pallium, ventral entopeduncular nucleus, preoptic area, prethalamus, stria medularis, tract of the habenula commissure, habenula commisure, habenula neuropil.
