Cilia in the accessory hyperstriatum of the domestic fowl

Summary

Numerous neurons and glia in the accessory hyperstriatum of the domestic fowl contain a cilium that is attached to a basal body. The accessory centriole is in the vicinity of the basal body and in some instances a connection between the two centrioles is noted. Cross-striated rootlets are associated with the basal body and the accessory centriole, however, some rootlets are found distant to centrioles. Cross sections of cilia show that most accessory hyperstriatal cilia have an 8+1 fiber pattern. Several proposed functional roles of neuronal cilia are discussed.
