... Pattern formation Gene function Neuron Zinc finger A critical question in understanding the formation of the vertebrate nervous system is how the mechanisms of positional information interface with the mechanisms of neurogenesis and gliogenesis to yield a patterned program of neural cell...

... embryology in the 1890s. Molecular genetics now provides a powerful tool to probe both gene function and evolutionary relationships, and a greater connection has become possible. The expansion of experimental organisms beyond the standard model animals used in most studies of development allows us to ask...
