Studies carried out in the avian embryo and based on the construction of quail–chick
chimeras have shown that most of the skull and all the facial and visceral skeleton are …

The involvement of Msx homeobox genes in skull and tooth formation has received a great
deal of attention. Recent studies also indicate a role for the msh/Msx gene family in …

Cranial neural crest cells (NCCs) migrate into the pharyngeal arches in three primary
streams separated by two cranial neural crest (NC)-free zones. Multiple tissues have been …

Within the hindbrain region, neural crest cell migration is organized into three streams that
follow the segmentation of the neuroepithelium into distinct rhombomeric compartments …

In non-vertebrate chordates, central nervous system (CNS) development has been studied
in only two taxa, the Cephalochordata and a single Class (Ascidiacea) of the …

Provides Insight into How Cytokine Action Impacts the Physiology and Pathology of the
CNS. As with the first edition of Cytokines and the CNS, this completely updated and revised …

Epibranchial placodes and rhombencephalic neural crest provide precursor cells for the
geniculate, petrosal, and nodose ganglia. In chick embryos and in Tupaia belangeri …

Overall Summary Hopefully, this chapter has succeeded in giving a flavor of the complexity
that underlies the induction and development of the neural crest and cranial ectodermal …

The divergent homeobox-containing transcription factor, Tlx-3 (also known as
Hox11L2/Rnx), is required for proper formation of first-order relay sensory neurons in the …

Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a developmental defect resulting from incomplete cleavage of
the embryonic forebrain structures during early embryogenesis. It includes a series of rare …
