Development of neuroventricular cells into ocular pigment cells in embryonic chick eyes: morphometrical and electrophysiological observations.

Abstract excerpt

The development of neuro-ventricular cells into pigment cells (outer layer of the optic cup) was studied morphometrically and electrophysiologically in eye primordia of chick embryos. The prospective pigment cells are homogeneous until days 4 to 5 1/2 of embryonic development. During this period, all cells are devoid of pigment and display a basic neuroventricular profile of both inward (probably sodium) and...
