Article Description

AChE cytochemistry was performed in the chick ciliary ganglion (CG) during various embryonic stages. AChE first appeared in the RER of the neurons at 5 days of incubation (d.i.). Synaptic AChE appeared only later, parallely to the appearance of the calyciform synapses, i.e. at 9 d.i. At first AChE was mainly localized at the calyx side facing the satellite cell, thereafter extending to the neuronal side and especially labeling synaptic contacts occurring at points along the presynaptic membrane. Finally, at 15 d.i., i.e. when the calyx is morphologically mature, AChE reaction labels the whole contour of the calyciform nerve terminal. At 10 d.i., limited AChE-positive extrasynaptic areas of the ciliary neurons surface first appeared, thereafter extending up to affect at 15 d.i. large neuronal surfaces.
