A novel genetic mechanism regulates dorsolateral hinge-point formation during zebrafish cranial neurulation.
During neurulation, vertebrate embryos form a neural tube (NT), the rudiment of the central nervous system. In mammals and birds, a key step in cranial NT morphogenesis is dorsolateral hinge-point (DLHP) bending, which requires an apical actomyosin network. The mechanism of DLHP formation is poorly understood, although several essential genes have been identified, among them Zic2, which encodes...

متن کاملNeurulation in the cranial region--normal and abnormal.
Cranial neurulation is the embryonic process responsible for formation of the brain primordium. In the mouse embryo, cranial neurulation is a piecemeal process with several initiation sites and two neuropores. Variation in the pattern of cranial neurulation occurs in different mouse strains, and a simpler version of this morphogenetic scheme has been described in human embryos. Exencephaly is m...
متن کاملGrowth and development of pattern in the cranial neural epithelium of rat embryos during neurulation.
The pattern of growth and morphogenesis of the cranial neural epithelium of rat embryos during neurulation is described. Transverse sections of the midbrain/hindbrain neural epithelium at different stages (0-14 somites) show a constant area and cell number throughout neurulation, even though there is a high level of mitosis. Mitotic spindles are orientated parallel to the long axis of the embry...
متن کاملThe kinetic behaviour of the cranial neural epithelium during neurulation in the rat.
The kinetic behaviour of the cranial neuroepithelial cells of rat embryos during neurulation is described. Serial transverse sections of 4-, 8-, 12- and 16-somite-stage embryos show that differential mitosis does not play a part in the mechanisms responsible for effecting cranial neural tube closure. A constant cell number is found in the midbrain/hindbrain neural epithelium during all four sta...
