The zone of transition between the pretectum, derived from prosomere 1, and the thalamus, derived from prosomere 2, is structurally complex and its understanding has been hampered by cytoarchitectural and terminological confusion. Herein, using a battery of complementary morphological approaches, including cytoarchitecture, myeloarchitecture and the expression of molecular markers, we pinpoint ...

during early neurogenesis, the floor plate plays an essential role(s) in the differentiation of the ventral portion of neural tube. in this study, we detected the specific distribution of unique glycoconjugate during the floor plate differentiation. formalin fixed paraffin sections of balb/c mice (10-14 embryonic days) were processed for histochemical studies using horseradish peroxidase-labell...

background: the aim of this research was to study the distribution and changes of glycoconjugates particularly their terminal sugars by using lectin histochemistry during mouse spinal cord development. methods: formalin-fixed sections of mouse embryo (10-16 fetal days) were processed for lectin histochemical method. in this study, two groups of horseradish peroxidase-labeled specific lectins we...
