    Notes: Summary Neural crestectomies were performed on neurula stage medaka embryos to remove neural crest with tungsten needles from one of five anteriorly located zones. The embryos were allowed to develop to stage 35 (immediately posthatching) larvae, then cleared and stained for cartilage. An analysis of changes to the head skeletons indicated that most of the anterior neurocranium and the entire viscerocranium received neural crest contributions during development. The elements involved included; the lamina orbitonasalis of the nasal capsule, the trabeculae, Meckels' cartilage and the quadrate of the lower jaw, the pterygoid process, the orbital cartilages and the epiphyseals of the neurocranial roof, as well as all the elements of the hyoid and branchial arches. By further analysis of only those neural crest ablations which produced alterations to the head skeleton, the neural crest cells which contributed to the development of each element were mapped. They originated principally, from one of three regions; the mesencephalon (second most anterior zone removed, number II), the preotic rhombencephalon (zone III), or the postotic rhombencephalon (zone IV). Neural crest from the level of the prosencephalon (zone I) was not chondrogenic nor was neural crest from the fifth region (zone V) which extended beyond the 5th to about the 8th or 10th somite and marked the anterior end of trunk neural crest. The data are discussed and are found to be consistent with the results from other vertebrates and support the central role of the neural crest in the development and evolution of the vertebrate bead skeleton.

    Notes: Summary We examined the role of thyroid hormone (TH) in mediating cranial ossification during metamorphosis in the Oriental fire-bellied toad, Bombina orientalis. Exogenous T3 (3,3′,5-triiodo-L-thyronine) was administered in three treatment dosages (0.025, 0.25, and 2.5 μg) plus a control dosage via plastic micropellets implanted within the dermis of tadpoles of three Gosner developmental stages: 28/29, 30/31, 32/33. Tadpoles were recovered after 2, 4, 6, and 8 d, and scored for the presence of three bones —median parasphenoid and paired frontoparietals and exoccipitals—as seen in cleared-and-stained, whole-mount preparations. T3 induced precocious ossification in both a stage-dependent and a dosage-dependent manner; stage dependence corresponded precisely with the degree of osteogenic differentiation at the time of hormone administration. Precocious ossification thus was due to the T3-promoted growth and calcified matrix deposition of these centers. Differential TH sensitivity among osteogenic sites may underlie both the temporal cranial ossification sequences characteristic of metamorphosing amphibians as well as sequence differences commonly observed among taxa.

    Notes: The identification, spatial relationships, and sequences of development of the cartilaginous and bony elements of the chondrocranium, osteocranium, and splanchnocranium in the medaka, Oryzias latipes, are described here for the first time. The development of the cartilaginous head skeleton commences at stage 29 and is essentially complete by stage 35 (hatching). The parasphenoid bone and two pairs of branchiostegals are present at this stage and several other replacement and dermal bones begin to appear shortly thereafter. Development of the osteocranium and ossification of the splanchnocranium continue throughout the larval and juvenile phases and are essentially complete at sexual maturity at approximately 3 months (at 25°C), at which time the fish range in length between 25 and 30 mm.The description of the adult head skeleton of O. latipes is compared to those of O. melastigma, O. luzonesis, and other Oryzias spp. previously described and a redesignation of the relationships between certain elements in the adult head skeleton is proposed, based on the developmental data presented. Furthermore, the value of the medaka as a model teleost to study the embryological origins of, and in particular, the neural crest contributions to, the cranial and visceral skeleton is outlined based on certain characteristics of the medaka's life history traits. These include the ease of obtaining embryos for which the exact time of fertilization is known (without sacrificing any brood stock) and the relatively rapid development of the chondrocranium, which is nearly complete at hatching, a process which can occur in as short a time as 6 days (at 34°C). The usefulness of the ontogenetic data obtainable from further studies into the embryonic origins of head and visceral skeletal elements revealed in the present study, is briefly discussed.

    Skull development during anuran metamorphosis: I. Early development of the first three bones to form - the exoccipital, the parasphenoid, and the frontoparietal (1988)

    Notes: In anuran amphibians, cranial bones typically first form at metamorphosis when they rapidly invest or replace the cartilaginous larval skull. We describe early development of the first three bones to form in the Oriental fire-bellied toad, Bombina orientalis - the parasphenoid, the frontoparietal, and the exoccipital - based on examination of serial sections. Each of these bones is fully differentiated by Gosner stage 31 (hindlimb in paddle stage) during premetamorphosis. This is at least six Gosner developmental stages before they are first visible in whole-mount preparations at the beginning of prometamorphosis. Thus, developmental events that precede and mediate the initial differentiation of these cranial osteogenic sites occur very early in metamorphosis - a period generally considered to lack significant morphological change. Subsequent development of these centers at later stages primarily reflects cell proliferation and calcified matrix deposition, possibly in response to increased circulating levels of thyroid hormone which are characteristic of later metamorphic stages. Interspecific differences in the timing of cranial ossification may reflect one or both of these phases of bone development. These results may qualify the use of whole-mount preparations for inferring the sequence and absolute timing of cranial ossification in amphibians.

    The development of acellularity of the vertebral bone of the Japanese medaka, Oryzias latipes (Teleostei; Cyprinidontidae) (1987)

    Notes: Among vertebrates, some teleosts are unique in having bone which lacks osteocytes embedded in the matrix. The fate of cells that secrete the matrix of these acellular bones has not been investigated thoroughly. Histological and fluorescent microscopic analysis of the vertebral bone of Oryzias latipes demonstrated that acellularity is not a secondary appearance of an early cellular bone during ontogeny. Vertebral bone is devoid of cells embedded in the matrix throughout development. Cells that secrete bone matrix do not become trapped in their own secretion. Instead, they always remain as a surface layer over the outer surface of the bone. Fluorescent microscopic visualization of tetracycline injected into growing fish demonstrated that bone was only deposited by osteoblasts lining the outer surface of the bone; no deposition of bone took place on the inner surface.

    Ultrastructure of the osteogenesis of acellular vertebral bone in the Japanese medaka, Oryzias latipes (teleostei, cyprinidontidae) (1988)

    Notes: An ultrastructural study by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of the vertebrae of embryonic, larval, juvenile and mature medaka shows that each vertebra consists of a core of notochordal cells surrounded by a sheath of bone. The vertebral bone lacks either fully or partially embedded cells in the matrix throughout development. Bone matrix is secreted by a layer of cells that lies over the outer surface of the vertebral bone. During the early stages of osteogenesis, these cells secrete bone matrix all around themselves. However, because of the gradual flow of the newly synthesized bone matrix through intercellular spaces, matrix-producing cells do not become trapped in their own secretion. In later stages of osteogenesis, these cells secrete matrix only toward the already-deposited bone. This polarized matrix secretion allows the osteoblasts to stay always on the bone surface and never to become trapped in the matrix as osteocytes.
