Developmental system drift in motor ganglion patterning between distantly related tunicates

Abstract Background The larval nervous system of the solitary tunicate Ciona is a simple model for the study of chordate neurodevelopment. The development and connectivity of the Ciona motor ganglion have been studied in fine detail, but how this important structure develops in other tunicates is no...
