Neural induction gastrulation

Collectively, these results demonstrate that neural induction occurs prior to gastrulation in avian embryos, which is much earlier than previously thought (Streit et al., 2000). Furthermore, neural induction is more complex than a...

Investigations in this field, which have been in progress for many years (Brachet, 1960 Saxen and Toivonen, 1962 Toivonen, 1963 Yamada, 1962), have shown that induction of the neural tube in amphibians, which normally takes place during gastrulation, can be brought about experimentally by many different products and agents.
