An analysis of contractile and protrusive cell behaviors at the superficial surface of the zebrafish neural plate
Superficial neural plate cells are coupled by a punctate distribution of Cdh2-rich adhesions. At this surface, cells tug on neighbors using oscillatory contractions. Oscillatory contractions accompany convergence and shrinkage of the cells' superficial surface for internalization during keeling. Some shrinkage for internalization occurs without oscillations. The deep surface of the overlying non-neural enveloping layer is in contact with the superficial surface of the neural plate, suggesting that it may constrain the neural plate movements of convergence and internalization.
