Effects of Weightlessness on Vestibular Development of Quail

摘要

The data confirm previous findings that quail embryos can, under proper circumstances, develop until hatching in microgravity. There were no gross abnormalities in the few ears of the late embryos (we received 3 ears at E14.5 and 4 ears at E16.5). Due to inadequate numbers of samples returned and their fully insufficient fixation though, no conclusions could be reached that warrant any publications.
