a Images of immunohistochemistry with S58 antibody against Tg(smyhc2:loxP-RFP-loxP-DTA) fish. Top: images of a fish without tbx2b:Cre (control). Bottom: images of a fish with tbx2b:Cre. b Behaviors of Tg(tbx2b:Cre; smyhc2:loxP-RFP-loxP-DTA) fish in the head-embedded condition during roll tilts. c Time course of the body bend angle in response to roll tilt. The same trial as shown in b. d Maximum body bend angles of control (without Cre) and PHM-ablated (with Cre) fish (six fish for each). Average values of at least five trials are shown for each fish. p = 0.0004 (two-sided two-sample t test). Scale bars, a 100 μm; b 500 μm. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
