In the zebrafish midbrain, expression of tal2, gata2a, and/or gata3 is independent of each other. The function of gata2a and gata3 is dispensable for generation of GABAergic neuron in the nMLF. This suggests that the functional connections of the regulatory genes leading to generation of nMLF GABAergic neurons have diverged between mouse and zebrafish.
