Ablation of cardiac neural crest results in cardiovascular malformations. Depressed ventricular contractility has been noted in cardiac neural crest-ablated embryos several hours before the time when neural crest cells would have arrived in the cardiac outflow tract and several days before the appea

โฆ Synopsis
Cranial neural crest, which extends from the mid-diencephalon to somite five, plays a n integral role in development of pharyngeal arch derivatives and supplies mesenchyme to the aortic arch arteries. Neural crest cells in pharyngeal arches three, four, and six migrate to the heart and are involved in aorticopulmonary and conotruncal septation. Ablation of the "cardiac" neural crest cells in chick embryos results in a variety of outflow tract anomalies, including persistent truncus arteriosus. Although other studies have shown the importance of the neural crest in the development of the cardiac outflow tract, the role of neural crest in venous development has not been established. This investigation evaluates the effect of cardiac neural crest ablation on the morphological development of the pulmonary vein. The presence of the pulmonary vein was confirmed initially at early stage 15
