Most of the cranial sense organs of vertebrates arise from
embryonic structures known as cranial placodes. Such placodes also
give rise to sensory neurons that transmit information to the brain
as well as to many neurosecretory cells. This book focuses on the
development of sensory and neurosecretory cell types from cranial
placodes by introducing the vertebrate head with its sense organs
and neurosecretory organs and providing an overview of the various
cranial placodes and their derivatives, including evidence of
common embryonic primordia. Schlosser discusses how these primordia
are established in the early embryo and how individual placodes
develop. The latter chapters explain how various placodally derived
sensory and neurosecretory cell types differentiate into discrete
structures.
