Neural plate, neural crest and rostral placodal cells are all specified at the late gastrula stage. How the early development of the central and peripheral nervous systems are coordinated remains, however, poorly understood. Previous results have provided evidence that at the late gastrula stage, graded Wnt signals impose rostrocaudal character on neural plate cells, and Bone Morphogenetic Protein signals specify olfactory and lens placodal cells at rostral forebrain levels. By using in vitro assays of neural crest and placodal cell differentiation, we now provide evidence that Wnt signals impose caudal character on neural plate border cells at the late gastrula stage, and that under these conditions, BMP signals induce neural crest instead of rostral placodal cells. We also provide evidence that both caudal neural and caudal neural plate border cells become independent of further exposure to Wnt signals at the head fold stage. Thus, the status of Wnt signaling in ectodermal cells at the late gastrula stage regulates the rostrocaudal patterning of both neural plate and neural plate border, providing a coordinated spatial and temporal control of the early development of the central and peripheral nervous systems.

PLoS ONE Introduction regeneration and maintenance of inducing capacity rather than the mechanism by which neural crest cells are initially induced. Thus, it remains unclear whether BMP and Wnt signals act in parallel or have separated roles during the initial induction of neural crest cells. Members of the Wnt family as well as members of the Wnt receptor family Frizzled are expressed in the caudal region of the gastrula stage embryo, and Wnt inhibitors are expressed in more rostral regions of the embryo. In agreement with this spatial pattern of expression it has been shown that Wnt signals act in a graded manner to specify neural plate cells of progressively more caudal character. The rostrocaudal distribution of Wnts and Wnt inhibitors at the late gastrula stage raises the possibility that Wnt signals also impose a caudal character on neural plate border cells which may influence the specification of placodal and neural crest cells. To address how Wnt and BMP signaling interact during the initial specification of olfactory/lens placodal and neural crest cells, we established explant assays of neural crest and placodal cell differentiation using late gastrula stage chick embryos. We now provide evidence that at the late gastrula stage, Wnt signals impose caudal character on neural plate border cells and that under these conditions, BMP signals induce neural crest cells instead of rostral placodal cel
