Signalling pathways are essential for the correct development of the central nervous system (CNS) in bilaterian animals. Here we show that in the CNS of the annelid Platynereis …

Apical organs are relatively simple larval nervous systems. The extent to which apical organs are evolutionarily related to the more complex nervous systems of other animals …
The ciliary band is a distinct region of embryonic ectoderm that is specified between oral and aboral ectoderm. Flask-shaped ciliary cells and neurons differentiate in this region and they …
The apical plate of primary marine larvae is characterized by a common set of transcription factors comprising six3, rx, hbn, nk2. 1 and FoxQ2. It harbours the apical organ, a neural and …

Animal bodies comprise diverse arrays of cells. To characterize cellular identities across an entire body, we have compared the transcriptomes of single cells randomly picked from …
Apical organs are sensory structures present in many marine invertebrate larvae where they are considered to be involved in their settlement, metamorphosis and locomotion. In …
