Riding the crest to get a head: neural crest evolution in vertebrates

ML Martik, ME Bronner - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2021 - nature.com
In their seminal 1983 paper, Gans and Northcutt proposed that evolution of the vertebrate
'new head'was made possible by the advent of the neural crest and cranial placodes. The …
