This paper reports analyses of the effects of eliminating mesoderm from one or both sides of embryos of the glossiphoniid leechTheromyzon rudeon the differentiation and distribution of ectodermal cells, especially identified peripheral neurons and central 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)-containing neurons arising from the bilateral pair of cell lines called the n bandlets (n-kinship cells). In mesoderm-deprived regions, no segmental hemiganglia formed, and identified neurons were not organized into recognizable patterns, although 5-HT neurons underwent neurochemical differentiation and grew axons. In unilaterally mesoderm-deprived embryos, segmental hemiganglia were formed in a midbody experimental zone, and cells that had abnormally crossed the ventral midline from the deprived side gave rise to identified neurons that were incorporated as supernumeraries into the normal organization of hemiganglia on the nondeprived side. In a posterior experimental zone, ganglionic morphology was disrupted on both sides. We conclude that precursor cells are committed to specific neuronal fates regardless of whether they occupy normal positions and that mesodermal tissues provide positional cues necessary for such precursor cells to find positions appropriate to their fates.
