[Neural and glial cell aggregation of the chick embryo cerebellum in dissociated cultures]

The processes of aggregation of the nerve and glial cells in the cultures obtained after the chick embryo cerebellum dissociation are considered. Different types of aggregation are noted. The formation of aggregates as rows (layers) consisting of Purkinje cells, small neurons and neuroglial cells is described. Such a type is considered as an example of directed aggregation. An analogy is drawn between the formation of cellular rows in the dissociated cultures and the histogenesis of cerebellum cortex in vivo.
