The possible involvement of myosin in elevation of neural folds in the chick was studied. Indirect immunofluorescence revealed the presence of myosin in the neuroepithelium as early as the neural-plate stage and was concentrated in the apical regions of neuroepithelial cells where microfilaments are

## Abstract The organization and properties of microfilaments of developing chick neuroepithelial cells were investigated in an attempt to elucidate the structural basis for the observed changes in cell shape during uplifting of neural folds. Microfilaments in the apical regions of cells are more o
Microfilaments, which are organized into bundles in the apical ends of neuroepithelial cells, are generally thought to play a major role in generating the driving forces for neural tube closure. Because of their proximity to the luminal surface, the contractile activity of these microfilament bundle
