The ontogeny of the spinocerebellar projection in the chicken. A study using WGA-HRP as a tracer. 1986

E A Lakke, and J M Guldemond, and J Voogd

This study investigates the ontogeny of the spinocerebellar projection and especially focuses on the relation between temporary longitudinal patterns in the cytoarchitecture of the developing cerebellum of the chicken and the emergence of longitudinal patterning in the spinocerebellar projection, WGA-HRP was injected into the spinal cord of chicken embryos at different stages of development. It was found that spinocerebellar fibers arrive in the cerebellar "anlage" before any longitudinal cytoarchitectonic pattern can be discerned. Thereafter the organization of the spinocerebellar projection seems to develop related to the two temporary cytoarchitectonic longitudinal patterns present in the chick cerebellum. In both stages the development of the spinocerebellar projection displays a rostro-caudal gradient.

D002531 Cerebellum The part of brain that lies behind the BRAIN STEM in the posterior base of skull (CRANIAL FOSSA, POSTERIOR). It is also known as the "little brain" with convolutions similar to those of CEREBRAL CORTEX, inner white matter, and deep cerebellar nuclei. Its function is to coordinate voluntary movements, maintain balance, and learn motor skills. Cerebella,Corpus Cerebelli,Parencephalon,Cerebellums,Parencephalons
D002642 Chick Embryo The developmental entity of a fertilized chicken egg (ZYGOTE). The developmental process begins about 24 h before the egg is laid at the BLASTODISC, a small whitish spot on the surface of the EGG YOLK. After 21 days of incubation, the embryo is fully developed before hatching. Embryo, Chick,Chick Embryos,Embryos, Chick
