Normal mouse strains differ in the site of initiation of closure of the cranial neural tube
1 Aug 1991
Abstract excerpt
The scanning electron microscopic study of day 9 embryos reported here documents differences among normal mouse strains in morphology of cranial neural tube closure. The site of initiation of contact and fusion of the cranial neural folds, previously defined as Closure 2 (Macdonald et al., '89), is located in the region of the junction between the forebrain (prosencephalon) and midbrain (mesencephalon) in three...
