Neurogenesis begins early in brain developmentand suddenly becomes a very intense process, which is related with the influence ofRetinoic Acid. Here, using a biological test (F9-1.8 cells) in chick embryos, we show that―in vivo‖ embryonic cerebrospinal fluid regulates mesencephalic-rombencephalic IsthmicRetinoic Acid synthesis and this effect has a direct influence on mesencephalic neuroepithelialprecursors, inducing a significant increase in neurogenesis. This effect is mediated by theRetinol Binding Protein present in the embryonic cerebrospinal fluid. The knowledge ofembryonic neurogenetic stimulus could be useful in the control of adult brain neurogenesis.
