Neuronal cilia in the embryonic thalamus and striatum of Gallotia galloti (Reptilia, Lacertidae).
Cilia are a common characteristic of the embryonic neurons of the thalamus and striated centers of Gallotia galloti from E.35. The ciliogenesis process occurs around the stages E.33 and E.34. The ciliary morphology shows no substantial variations between the different stages and the ciliary structure in the embryonic period is 8 + 1. On the other hand, the adult cilia has a 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules. We do not rule out the possibility of other axonemes.
