these findings 1 ) emphasize the important contribution of microfilament-mediated apical constriction of neuroepithelial cells in providing the driving forces for bending of the neuroepithelium during neural tube formation and 2 ) suggest that agents or conditions that impair their contractile activity could play a role in the pathogenesis of certain types of neural tube defects .
