The (two) lines of ectodermal cells, adjacent to the strip of ectoderm (folding into the neural tube during neurulation), from which the dorsal ganglia and various cell types (e.g.,Schwann cells) arise. In fact, itdevelops into most of the peripheral nervous system (neurons and glial cells). Neural crest cells, which tend to undergo longmigrations, give rise to various tissues throughout the body, among which arenon-neural tissues (e.g., satellite cells of ganglia, Schwann cells).
