Applications of Light and Electron Microscopic Autoradiography to the Study of Cytogenesis of the Forebrain

  • Chapter

Abstract

In the early stages of ontogeny, the wall of the prosencephalon, later developing into highly specialized structures is still made up of relatively simple medullary epithelium, as are the other portions of the neural tube. No neuroblast appears yet in this stage. Recent investigations (21) have elucidated in detail the functional and morphological characteristics of the matrix cell that constitutes the medullary epithelium.
