The ganglion cell of the deep gray layer of the tectum [of Gallus gallus] is characterized by a large perikaryon and long thick dendrites spreading widely into the overlying intermediate and superficial layers. Its axon projects from the ventral aspect of the soma into the adjacent deep white layer and runs tangentially with the efferent tectal fibers. Migration of the ganglion cell neuroblast from the matrix zone to its definitive location was traced in rapid Golgi preparations from a series of staged embryos [and young chicks]. The neuroblast apparently does not begin to migrate until 1-2 days after its last cell division. Initially, the postmitotic neuroblast is an elongated cell, its perikaryon in the matrix zone and primitive external process extending radially through the mantle and marginal zones. Before the cell body migrates, an axon grows out from the external process, thus preventing movement of the cell as a whole. These early-forming axons establish a fiber layer, which is the forerunner of the mantle zone. The migration of the neuroblast is accomplished by elongation of a leading process and translocation of the cell body through the process. A sequence of 3 stages can be observed in the migration: radial, tangential and oblique. In each of these stages, the corresponding radial, tangential or oblique orientation of the leading process defines the migration route of the cell body. There is no consistent arrangement of supporting cells or neuroglia with respect to these migration routes. After its definitive location in the ganglion cell layer, the young neuron forms dendrites. This remarkable sequence of morphological events is not explained by locomotion of the entire cell or by current notions of cellular guidance of the neuroblast in migration and differentiation. The factors controlling migration are probably contemporaneous with, and perhaps the same as, those involved in the growth and elongation of the neuroblast.
