A1 Barbosa Ayucar, Enrique K1 Embriología K1 Cerebro - Enfermedades AB The expansive force generated by the positive pressure of the neural tube fluid confined inside the brain vesicles has been shown to be a key factor during the earliest stages of brain morphogP.nesis and development of chick embryos. In a previous study,we demonstrated the existence of an intracavity extracellular matrix rich in condroitin sulfate in this species, which could be in­ volved in the regulation of the expa nsive process. In this report, scanning electron microscopy and immunohisto­ chemistry show that,after neurulation,a similar extracel­ lular matrix rich in chondroitin sulfate is present inside the brain vesicles of rat embryos during early enlarge­ ment of the brain anlage.
