title: Cell proliferation during early diencephalon development in Alligator.
abstract: Using immunocytochemical methodology, cell proliferation was investigated in Alligator during early diencephalon development. These results were compared with cell proliferation during early hindbrain formation in this same species using identical techniques. The pattern of cell proliferation in the diencephalon differed from that observed in the rhombencephalon. If cell proliferation is a factor influencing brain development, then the diencephalon of Alligator may be built differently from the hindbrain.
