Amphioxus and ascidian Dmbx homeobox genes give clues to the vertebrate origins of midbrain development.
The ancestral chordate neural tube had a tripartite structure, comprising anterior, midbrain-hindbrain boundary (MHB) and posterior regions. The most anterior region encompasses both forebrain and midbrain in vertebrates. It is not clear when or how the distinction between these two functionally and...
