Incorporation of Sulphur-35 into the Subcommissural Organ and Reissner's Fibre

THE subcommissural organ ( SCO ) is a specialized area of the ependymal border below the commissura posterior and it occurs in the brain of all vertebrates. In most species the products of apical secretion from the SCO may pass, as does Reissner's fibre, through the ventricles of the brain and...

Description
Summary:THE subcommissural organ ( SCO ) is a specialized area of the ependymal border below the commissura posterior and it occurs in the brain of all vertebrates. In most species the products of apical secretion from the SCO may pass, as does Reissner's fibre, through the ventricles of the brain and the central canal to the posterior end of the spinal cord 1,2 . The function of the SCO is not yet known.
