Abstract
⺠The dorsal face is absent after conditional deletion of Ã-catenin with Foxg1-Cre. ⺠Massive apoptosis follows diminished Fgf8 expression in the rostral head primordia. ⺠Fgf8 is a positive target of Wnt/Ã-catenin signaling in the ANR and facial ectoderm. ⺠Fgf8 is ectopically expressed in the facial ectoderm by gain-of-function of Ã-catenin. ⺠Shh expression is diminished in the telencephalon by loss-of-function of Ã-catenin.
