Abstract
The dynamics of appearance of microtubules and the development of their connections with synapses and the nuclear membrane was studied by electron microscopy in differentiating neuroblasts from the anterior horns of the human spinal cord during the first half of antenatal development. A hypothesis is put forward to explain the function of the connections discovered between the microtubules and subsynaptic zone of the neuroblast and its nucleus.
