Unlike several other NTD-inducing teratogens (Mirkes 2002), we found that VPA induced no apparent increase in apoptosis along the tips of the neural folds (Copp et al.
As the embryo develops, the ectoderm-derived neural plate indents to produce a neural groove, which is essentially an open depression bordered by neural folds [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 1 OMITTED].
Specifically, Xslug mRNA is strongly expressed in the lateral neural folds in early neural plate (stage 14, ~16 hr) embryos, coalesces into patterns approximating the premigratory crest aggregates by stage 16 (~18 hr), is evident in migratory streams in the head and trunk in taibud stages (stages 22-26, ~24-30 hr), but diminishes drastically by midtadpole development (stage 34, ~44 hr) as migration is completed (Linker et al.
