↵F1-a The inferior oblique (io) muscle, which is normally innervated by the third nerve, appears not to be innervated by the GFP-labeled fibers between 72 and 96 hr in the Isl1-GFP line, suggesting that, among nIII neurons, those supplying the io do not express GFP. The rest of three muscle groups (mr, sr, and ir) are innervated by the GFP-labeled fibers by 72 hr.
↵F1-b GFP is not expressed in the abducens motor (nVI) neurons in the Isl1-GFP line. Consequently, the lateral rectus (lr) muscle is not innervated by the GFP-labeled fibers.
