Convergent extension is necessary for the directed movement of the anterior neural plate. Tracking of anterior neuroepithelial cells in control (left) and Vangl2 morphant embryos (2 right embryos). The anterior directed movement of rostral neuroepithelial cells is absent in Vangl2 morphant embryos. Time interval = 3min.
