Vertebrate neural tube formation and differentiation have been extensively examined. Particular interest has been paid to : ( 1 ) the induction of a thickened neural plate by subjacent chorda-mesoderm, (2) factors responsible for the appearance of the neural folds and neural grove, ( 3 ) the migration of neural crest cells from the neural folds and, (4) patterns of mitotic activity and cellular differentiation within the walls of the neural tube leading to the complex functional morphology of the central nervous system. Relatively little attention has been given to the details of fusion between the neural folds resulting in formation of a closed neural tube (MarinPadilla, ’70) . Small membrane “ruffles” associated with cells of the neural folds during neural tube closure in the chick were recently observed with the scanning electron microscope (SEM) (Revel, ’74). It was suggested that these structures may play a role in forming new adhesions between the surfaces of apposed neural folds. The present study reports the presence of similar surface alterations during fusion of the neural folds in embryonic mice and golden hamsters.
