Rhombecephalon

Spinal
cord
ANR – anterior neural ridge (defines ant. border of neural plate, antagonizes ‘caudalization’
signals, e.g. Wnt, and promotes prosencephalic factor Six3)
Otx2 → caudal
Fgf8 (fiber growth factor 8) Morphogenetic gradient
Gbx2 → rostral principle
Transcription factors:
BMPs from non-neural ectoderm
Sonic hedgehog (Shh) from notochord (N) and floor plate (F)
Retinoic acid from somites (S)
Pax 3,7 from roof plate and then from alar plate
Nk2 (Nkx), then Pax 6 from basal plate
Sadler, 2007
Dorsoventral regionalization of neural tube
Topology vs topography
In early phase of
development, the
dorsoventral plane (red
line) is nearly parallel to the
alar-basal boundary
In later phases of
development, this
relationship is no longer
valid
NC – notochord
PP – prechordal plate
p1-6 prosomeres
Puelles, 2001 r1-11 rhombomeres

p1: pretectum (Pt); p2: thalamus (Th) and epithalamus (Ept); p3 prethalamus (Pth) and prethalamic eminence (Emt). The
principal subdivisions of telencephalon: pallium (P) and subpallium (Sp). Rostral prosencephalic regions: hypothalamus,
alar (Ha) and basal (Hb) and the subpallium. After Medina et al., 2011.
