The normal development of the mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus (MesV) of the white Peking duck (Anas platyrhynchos) was studied from the 9th day of incubation until hatching and during adulthood. In the early days of embryonic development, neurons are present in the posterior commissure and in the mesenchymal tissue outside the leptomeninges in addition to those in the tectal commissure (TC) and in the optic tectum. Following the internucleosomal cleavage of DNA, a massive loss of neurons in the MesV starts in the 11-day embryo and continues until the 15th day of incubation. On the 16th day, the nucleus consists of a numerically larger medial division located in the TC and a smaller lateral division within the stratum griseum periventriculare as is found in the adult animal. The programmed cell death occurring in the MesV is discussed herein and correlated with the analogous apoptotic phenomena observed in the trigeminal motor nucleus.Copyright © 2003 S.
