Abstract excerpt
The leech nervous system comprises a relatively simple network of longitudinal (connective) and transverse (segmental) nerves. We have followed the normal pattern of axon development in the glossiphoniid leech Theromyzon rude by immunostaining embryonic preparations with antibody to acetylated alpha-tubulin. The dependence of the normal pattern of axon growth on cells in the mesodermal (M) and ectodermal (N, O, P...
