Fig. 22. Early morphogenesis of the neural primordium. Diagramatic transverse sections, redrawn from Papan and Campos-Ortega (1994). The neural plate (A, ca. 10 h) develops into the neural keel (B, ca. 13 h) by infolding at the midline. The keel in turn rounds into the cylindrical neural rod (C, ca. 16 h).
