Neurodevelopment of the chick medulla using time-lapse microscopy in tissue cultures.

Reddick studied neurodevelopment of the chick medulla. The goal of her experiments was to understand how much of that area of the brain was already determined and how much was dependent on interactions with surrounding developing tissues, such as notochord, somites, and ectoderm. The results of these experiments supported the hypothesis that while some aspects of the post-otic medulla in chick have already been determined, there needs to be a continuous interaction with surrounding developing tissue. For much of her research in tissue cultures, Reddick used time-lapse microscopy (then called motion picture microphotography).
