Neural plate of Xenopus laevis at early neural tube closure.

Zebrafish Notogenesis and Early Neurulation. Mediolateral intercalation produces convergent-extension of the notochordal rudiment. Cells within the center of the notochord elongate and are incorporate...

Zebrafish at the 3-somite stage. A dorsal view of the embryo, focused first at the level of the hypoblast. The notochord is centrally located. The first three frames of the sequence are at the same ti...

Zebrafish Embryo, from tailbud to 16-hour stage, stained with 100 micromolar Bodipy-Ceramide. Bodipy-Ceramide permeates the enveloping layer epithelium of the embryo, accumulating in the interstitial ...

A 4D visualization of zebrafish somitogenesis and neural keel formation. The Quicktime movie shows progressively dorsal optical sections in a segmenting embryo. Note the midline alignment of neuroepit...

Zebrafish embryo showing the alignment of cells involved in the formation of the neural tube, which will become the spinal cord and brain.

Transverse section through the neural tube of an early stage chick embryo. The brown stain shows the neurofilament in the axons of the commisural neurons (running down the sides of the neural tube) an...

Differentiated rat neural stem cells stained for β III-Tubulin (in blue) to reveal neurons and GFAP (in red) to reveal glial cells.

Scanning EM of a 24 hr (prim-5) Zebrafish embryo, fractured to reveal the neural tube, migrating neural crest cells, the notochord and the somites. Specimens were chemically fixed critically point ...

Differentiated rat neural stem cells stained for β III-Tubulin (in green) to reveal neurons, GFAP (in red) to reveal glial cells, and DAPI (in blue) to label nuclei.
