Animal embryos need to specify different cell types, and the genetic functions that provide
such controls are easy to comprehend since they result in the formation of overtly …

In the vertebrate central nervous system, multipotential cells have been identified in vitro and
in vivo. Defined mitogens cause the proliferation of multipotential cells in vitro, the …

Updated to reflect the newest changes in genetics, Thompson & Thompson's Genetics in
Medicine returns as one of the most favored texts in this fascinating and rapidly evolving …

The mechanisms by which mammals discriminate a vast array of diverse odors are poorly
understood. To gain insight into the organizational strategies underlying this discriminatory …

Larval zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) are a popular model system because of their genetic
attributes, transparency and relative simplicity. They have approximately 200 neurons that …

Neuraxial patterning is a continuous process that extends over a protracted period of
development. During gastrulation a crude anteroposterior pattern, detectable by molecular …

▪ Abstract Widespread cell migrations are the hallmark of vertebrate brain development. In
the early embryo, morphogenetic movements of precursor cells establish the rhombomeres …

The molecular mechanisms that control regional specification, morphogenesis and
differentiation of the embryonic forebrain are not known, although recently seueral …

Surface area of the cerebral cortex is a highly heritable trait, yet little is known about genetic
influences on regional cortical differentiation in humans. Using a data-driven, fuzzy …

In zebrafish, the segmental series of pharyngeal arches is formed predominantly by two
migratory cell types, neural crest and paraxial mesoderm, which arise in the early embryo …
