Specification of epibranchial placodes in zebrafish.
In all vertebrates, the neurogenic placodes are transient ectodermal thickenings that give rise to sensory neurons of the cranial ganglia. Epibranchial (EB) placodes generate neurons of the distal facial, glossopharyngeal and vagal ganglia, which convey sensation from the viscera, including pharyngeal endoderm structures, to the CNS. Recent studies have implicated signals from pharyngeal endode...
متن کاملApoptosis and proliferation in developing, mature, and regressing epibranchial placodes.
Epibranchial placodes and rhombencephalic neural crest provide precursor cells for the geniculate, petrosal, and nodose ganglia. In chick embryos and in Tupaia belangeri, apoptosis in rhombomeres 3 and 5 helps to select premigratory precursor cells and to segregate crest cell streams derived from the even-numbered rhombomeres. Much less is known about the patterns and functions of apoptosis in ...
متن کاملLateral line, otic and epibranchial placodes: developmental and evolutionary links?
Two embryonic cell populations, the neural crest and cranial ectodermal placodes, between them give rise to many of the unique characters of vertebrates. Neurogenic placode derivatives are vital for sensing both external and internal stimuli. In this speculative review, we discuss potential developmental and evolutionary relationships between two placode series that are usually considered to be...
متن کاملMolecular analysis of neurogenic placode development in a basal ray-finned fish.
Neurogenic placodes are transient, thickened patches of embryonic vertebrate head ectoderm that give rise to the paired peripheral sense organs and most neurons in cranial sensory ganglia. We present the first analysis of gene expression during neurogenic placode development in a basal actinopterygian (ray-finned fish), the North American paddlefish (Polyodon spathula). Pax3 expression in the p...
متن کاملThe surface ectoderm of the chick embryo exhibits dynamic variation in its response to neurogenic signals.
The epibranchial placodes are specialized areas of surface ectoderm that make a vital contribution to the peripheral nervous system, producing sensory neurons of the cranial ganglia. They have long been characterized as a series of patches of thickened ectoderm in the vicinity of each pharyngeal cleft. We have previously demonstrated that Sox3 is not only expressed in these structures but also ...
