Abstract
Current research problems and approaches to the embryonic development of the head and neck are surveyed and discussed in terms of congenital defects that occur in this region. Of particular significance are new interpretations of the contributions the neural crest cells make to various components of the head and neck, the influence that the brain and notochord exert on the overall morphology of the head region, the tissue interactions involved in the development and differentiation of the pituitary gland (hypophysis), and the significance of vascular perturbations with respect to malformations in the craniofacial region.
