T1 - Development of the subcommissural organ in the albino mouse (A Golgi study) LA - eng PY - 1983 SP - 363 EP - 370 T2 - Journal fur Hirnforschung SN - 0021-8359 VL - 24 IS - 4 AB - The Subcommissural organ (SCO) of the albino mouse has been examined using the Golgi method and stained paraffin sections from embryonic age E 11 up to adulthood. The SCO cells can first be distinguished from adjacent structures at E 14, but are not fully differentiated until the age of 6 postnatal weeks. The first signs of cytological maturation occur during early postnatal life with a progressive invagination of the nuclear membrane and a transformation of the peripheral processes, which involute or are lost in adulthood. The hypendyma appears at the age of three weeks. A third type of cell is described which is interpreted as a transitional element between ependymal and hypendymal SCO cells. In general, the mouse SCO is characterized by an early appearance in prenatal life and a late acquisition of the final differentiated state.
