Abstract

Due to its histo-anatomical characteristics, the avian retina has been extensively used as a system to approach the basic principles of central nervous system (CNS) function and differentiation. Cells from the embryonic chick retina can be easily dissociated and cultured as dispersed or aggregated cells. Most, if not all, of retina biochemical markers differentiate properly in vitro, making this system useful to follow the differentiation of neurochemical properties of the tissue (Akagawa and Barnstable, 1987; Akagawa et al., 1987).
