Abstract excerpt
The spatiotemporal distribution of cell death in the chick embryo neural tube and spinal cord (brachial region) was examined between stage (St.) 12 and 22, in plastic semithin sections. Between St. 12 and 16, the total number of pycnotic cells per segment was low, whereas after St. 16 the number of pycnotic cells was substantially increased. Between St. 17 and 19 three cell death foci or regions could be...
