Analyses with double knockouts of the Bmpr1a and Bmpr1b genes demonstrate that BMP signaling is involved in the formation of precerebellar mossy fiber nuclei derived from the rhombic lip.

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have been hypothesized to specify distinct dorsal neural fates. During neural development, BMPs are expressed in the roof plate and adjacent neuroepithelium. Because several hindbrain nuclei that form the proprioceptive/vestibular/auditory sensory network originate...
