Chapter 10 - Bibliography

Hall, B. K. and S. Hörstadius. 1988. The Neural Crest. Oxford University Press, London. This is a detailed, thought-provoking volume on the evolutionary origins, migrations, and differentiation of neural crest cells. It includes a facsimile reprint of the classic book by S. Hörstadius from 1950.

Hamburger, V., and H. L. Hamilton, 1951. A series of normal stages in the development of the chick embryo. J. Morphol. 88: 49–92. This is the original publication of the Hamburger-Hamilton chick staging series.

Hamilton, H. L. 1952. Lillie’s Development of the Chick. An Introduction to Embryology. Henry Holt and Co., New York. This revised version of F. R. Lillie’s original, much longer, book is a classic. It contains a full reprint of the Hamburger-Hamilton chick staging series.

Kil, S. H., C. E. Krull, G. Cann, D. Clegg and M. Bronner-Fraser. 1998. The alpha-₄subunit of integrin is important for neural crest cell migration. Dev. Biol 202: 29–42. This is an excellent example of how modern techniques in immunohistochemistry are used to track neural crest cells and determine the components important to their migration.

LeLièvre, C. and N. M. LeDouarin. 1975. Mesenchymal derivates of the neural crest: Analysis of chimaeric quail and chick embryos. J. Embryol. Exp. Morph. 34: 125–154. These two authors have contributed impressively to our knowledge of neural crest migration and differentiation. This study shows how cell migration can be mapped using embryonic cells from the quail grafted into a chick embryo. The quail cells can be distinguished since their nuclei stain more darkly than those of the chick.

Lehman, H. E. 1987. Chordate Development, 3rd Ed. Hunter Textbooks, Winston-Salem, NC. This tome on vertebrate development is filled with interesting detail. In addition to describing developmental anatomy, it discusses development from an evolutionary perspective.

Mathews, W. W. and G. C. Schoenwolf. 1998. Atlas of Descriptive Embryology, 5th Ed. Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ. This traditional manual is one of the best for its photographs of embryos and includes a glossary of terms.

Noden, D. M. 1980. The migration and cytodifferentiation of cranial neural crest cells. In Current Research Trends in Prenatal Craniofacial Development, R. M. Pratt and R. L. Christiansen (eds.). Elsevier/North-Holland, New York, pp. 3–26. This author has done painstaking, precise fate-mapping, revolutionizing our understanding of the skull. That fate mapping is still so important to embryology is evidenced by Noden’s work and is clearly encapsulated in this review paper.

Romanoff, A. L. 1960. The Avian Embryo. Macmillan, New York. This is the biggest book you’ll ever want to read on the bird embryo. The diagrams and charts are extensive. Simply keep in mind that some ideas concerning germ layer derivatives (those of the neural crest, for example) have changed in recent years.
