Figure 1

Schematic illustrations of craniofacial fields. Fn: frontonasal field, Mx: maxillary field, P: palatal field, Md: the complete mandibular field, and Oc: occipital and cervical spine field. Green arrows indicate migration paths of neural crest cells from different regions at the neural tube to different developmental fields in the cranium.
