Potential breakthrough in understanding vertebrate brain evolution
Research based in the Department of Zoology has potentially advanced the resolution of one of evolutionary biology’s greatest mysteries: how our complex brains evolved from simpler nervous systems. The research is described in a new paper, ‘An ancient apical patterning system sets the position of the forebrain in chordates...
