Role of the neural crest in face and brain development
NM Le Douarin, JM Brito, S Creuzet - Brain research reviews, 2007 - Elsevier
Since the time of Ramon y Cajal, very significant progress has been accomplished in our
knowledge of the fate of the early neural primordium. The origin of the peripheral nervous
system from the transient and pluripotent embryonic structure, the neural crest has been fully
deciphered using appropriate cell marking techniques. Most of the pioneer work in this field
was carried out in lower vertebrates up to 1950 and later on in the avian embryo. New
techniques which allow the genetic labelling of embryonic cells by transgenesis are now …
