Opis

Most of the cranial sense organs of vertebrates arise from embryonic structures known as cranial placodes. Schlosser discusses how these primordia are established in the early embryo, how individual placodes develop, and how various placodally derived sensory and neurosecretory cell types differentiate into discrete structures.
