a, An overview of the spatial mechano-transcriptomics pipeline, showing immunostained membrane images and single-cell RNA-sequencing references as inputs, followed by deep learning segmentation, tension and pressure inference, gene expression imputation and final integrated mechanical-transcriptomic output maps. b, A schematic (top left) and images of the two different embryo sagittal sections considered in this study with close-ups of the three different brain regions studied in more details thereafter. Dataset 1: FMH and NC regions of embryo 1 brain; dataset 2: CM and FHM regions of embryo 2 brain; and dataset 3: MHB region of embryo 2 brain.
