Summary

SEM studies of the developing chick basilar papilla showed differentiated stereociliary bundles in the distal basilar papilla as early as stage 32. Previous LM and TEM reports were unable to distinguish stereocilia until stage 35. This study has significant implications relative to the role of neural induction on hair cell differentiation.
