A stereological approach to the study of neural organogenesis in Xenopus laevis.
???displayArticle.abstract???
Stereological methods are applied to the study of structural changes undergone, during neurulation, by the neuroepithelium of early embryos of Xenopus laevis. In light microscopy, we evaluate: the section area of the neuroepithelium, the nucleocytoplasmic ratio, the volume fraction of the intercellular spaces, of the nuclei and of the cytoplasm. In electron microscopy, the volumetric density and the surface ratio of mitochondria as well as the surface density of the endoplasmic reticulum are measured. Occasionally, the data found for Xenopus are compared to those found earlier in a similar study of the chicken embryo.
