Term:roof plate formation
go back to main search page
Accession:GO:0021509 term browser browse the term
Definition:The formation of a single row of glia at the dorsal midline of the developing neural tube. This region provides inductive signals for the specification of neuronal cell types and of the specification of neural crest cells. The cells comprising the roof plate are the precursors to radial glial cells.
