Surface ectoderm development impacts neural tube closure. Neural tube close in an embryo with uniliteral targeted surface ectoderm Itgb1 downregulation. Neural tube closure at the neural plate side adjacent to the morphant SE is defective. Red overlay highlights the defective neural tube closure at the affected side. Anterior: bottom, Posterior top. Time interval = 6 min.
