Forebrain and midbrain fiber tract formation during early development in Alligator embryos.

Abstract:

:The relationship between fiber tract formation and transverse and longitudinal borders of the diencephalon was investigated in Alligator embryos beginning when this structure was a single unit and continuing until internal subgroups were present within individual segments. At all stages of development, distinct bundles of fibers were not restricted to borders between morphological segments nor were they located at the alar/basal plate boundary. With the exception of a few fine fibers that occupied only a part of certain inter-diencephalic boundaries, fiber tracts were present within the parenchyma of respective subdivisions. In the process of this analysis, fiber tract formation was also documented in the telencephalon, secondary prosencephalon, and midbrain during this period of early development. Fiber tracts were classified into three groups based on orientation: transverse; longitudinal; and commissural. At early stages of development, similarities between Alligator and other species suggest that these bundles represent a primary scaffold for all vertebrates with two exceptions. One was the presence of the descending tract of the mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus in Alligator and other jawed animals but not in jawless vertebrates. The other was the absence of the dorsoventral diencephalic tract in Alligator which lacks a pineal gland.
