The ontogenesis of cranial neuromeres in the rat embryo
نویسندگان
چکیده
The morphogenesis of rhombomeres (neuromeres) caudal to the preotic sulcus during neurulation in rat embryos is described. A model is proposed to explain the development of the characteristic neuromeric sulci and interneuromeric gyri based on the cytoskeletal elements and the kinetic behaviour of the neural epithelium. Evidence obtained from a study of control, cytochalasin D-treated and colchicine-treated embryos, at the electron microscopic level, supports the proposed model. The longitudinally expanding cranial neural epithelium bulges between microtubule blocks present within the interneuromeric gyri, causing a bulge to develop along the line of least resistance, away from the microfilament-rich luminal border of the neuromeric sulcus region.

متن کاملThe ontogenesis of cranial neuromeres in the rat embryo. I. A scanning electron microscope and kinetic study.
The development of the cranial neuromeres, rostral to the level of the first somite, in rat embryos during neurulation is described. Examination of scanning electron micrographs of 4-, 8-, 12- and 16-somite-stage embryos has shown that the neuromeres develop in a strictly ordered pattern but the sequence is not ordered in either a rostrocaudal or caudorostral direction. The two mesomeres are sh...
متن کاملNotes on the Development of the Neural Crest in the Head of Mus musculus by BENGT KALLEN
T H E relations between the neural crest on the one hand and the neuromeres and their precursors the proneuromeres on the other hand have never been fully described. Many authors have, however, shown that the cranial ganglia lie level with every second neuromere, so that ganglion V lies level with neuromere VII, ganglion VII-VIII level with neuromere IX, and ganglion IX-X level with neuromere X...
متن کاملImpact of hypokinesia on dynamics of formation of evoked potentials in sensorimotor cortex in early postnatal ontogenesis
The analysis of evoked potentials of sensorimotor cortex in response to electrical stimulation of n. ischiadicus shows that the extremal factor hypokinesia has a negative impact on the dynamics of formation of amplitudal and temporal characteristics since eyes openning in 2-weeks old rats. The most vulnerable process to the impact of hypokinesia is the first-positive phase, which disappears in ...

Introduction: Women with poorly controlled insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) have a much higher incidence of early pregnancy complications, these include spontaneous miscarriages, early growth delay, and congenital malformations. Most of the investigations have been devoted to the early post implantation and organogenesis period of pregnancy. In this research we studied the hyperglycem...
