The characteristic movement of cells from the dorsal ridge of the neural tube to a variety of locations in a vertebrate embryo.

An action or movement due to the application of a sudden unexpected stimulus.

The collection of axons into a bundle of rods, known as a fascicle.

The orderly movement of a glial cell, non-neuronal cells that provide support and nutrition, maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and participate in signal transmission in the nervous system.

The process aimed at the progression of a neural crest cell over time, from initial commitment of the cell to its specific fate, to the fully functional differentiated cell.

The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a Schwann cell. Schwann cells are found in the peripheral nervous system, where they insulate neurons and axons, and regulate the environment in which neurons function.

The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a melanocyte.

The regrowth of fin tissue following its loss or destruction.

The process in which myelin sheaths are formed and maintained around neurons. Oligodendrocytes in the brain and spinal cord and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system wrap axons with compact layers of their plasma membrane. Adjacent myelin segments are separated by a non-myelinated stretch of axon called a node of Ranvier.

The developmental process that results in the deposition of coloring matter in an organism, tissue or cell.

The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the lateral line over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The lateral line consists of small sensory patches (neuromasts) located superficially on the skin or just under the skin in fluid-filled canals on the head and body of all fishes and most amphibians. The lateral line develops from cranial ectodermal placodes situated behind the ear and between the eye and ear.

The formation of compact myelin sheaths around the axons of the anterior lateral line nerve.

The formation of compact myelin sheaths around the axons of the posterior lateral line nerve.
