Neuromere

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Neuromeres are morphologically or molecularly defined transient segments of the early developing brain. Rhombomeres are such segments that make up the rhombencephalon or hindbrain. More controversially, some argue that there exist early developmental segments in the midbrain and forebrain (prosomeres).

v • d • e Prenatal development/Mammalian development of nervous system

General neural development/ neurulation/neurula	Notochord - Neuroectoderm - Neural plate - Neural folds - Neural groove Neural crest - Neural tube (Neuromere/Rhombomere, Cephalic flexure) Alar plate (sensory) - Basal plate (motor) Glioblast - Neuroblast

Eye development	Optic vesicles - Optic stalk - Optic cup - Lens placode

Auditory development	Auditory vesicle - Auditory pit

Note: mostly ecoderm, but mesoderm is precursor for epineurium, perineurium, and endoneurium
