title: Cell death in the lizard cerebellar anlage at early embryonic stages.
abstract: Three types of cell degeneration were observed at early embryonic stages of the development of cerebellar cortex of Gallotia galloti (Reptilia: Lacertidae). One is characterized by overall cell shrinkage whereas in the other two the degenerative process is recognized by a differential appearance of the cellular nucleus. We have also studied the further phagocytosis of the resultant cellular debris.
