Fig. 1. Models for retina primordium formation in vertebrate embryos. The outline illustrates the boundary of the neural plate and the filled circles represent retina primordia. (A) The two separate retina primordia model. (B) A diagram of Stockard’s model of how a single primordium spreads and separates into two retinae. Some of Stockard’s results were directly contradicted by later studies of Adelmann (1929a,b). (C) This is essentially the same as Figs 1, 2 and 4 of LePlat (1919). (D) A schematic representation of Adelmann’s model. It was not determined whether midline cells could migrate laterally. (E) An illustration of the forebrain field model. Eyes are presumably the default fate of this field (Corner, 1966; Boterenbrood, 1970).
