Synaptogenesis in the Chick Embryo Spinal Cord

Nature New Biology volume 235, pages 126–128 (1972)Cite this article

Abstract

RECENT advances in the study of the ontogeny of neural function in the chick embryo1 have re-emphasized the need for a better understanding of the morphological details of the developing avian nervous system. With this in mind we have undertaken a correlated programme of study of the ultrastructural and behavioural development of the embryonic nervous system of birds.
