Calcium-Binding Ribonucleoprotein in Developing Chick Embryo Brain: Its Relationship to the Ontogenesis of Electrical Activity

Abstract

A calcium-binding ribonucleoprotein, specific to brain, has been shown to increase in quantity with the increase in the age of chick embryo, attaining a plateau around day 12. The increase has a correlation with the onset and maturation of the electrical activity in the developing chick embryo brain.
