Figure 1

Schematic of eye morphogenesis in zebrafish. Eye field specification in the anterior portion of the neural plate (ANP) (1) is followed by the rearrangement of the tissue as the neural plate folds into a keel (2), and the evagination of the optic vesicles (3). Subsequent folding of the optic vesicle over itself leads to the formation of the optic cup (4). Top-left panel is a dorsal view with anterior to the left; the orientation of all the other panels is indicated in the figure. tel: telencephalon; hyp: hypothalamus; RPE: retinal pigment epithelium; ef: eye field; NR: neural retina.
