The lamprey blueprint of the mammalian nervous system
B Robertson, A Kardamakis, L Capantini… - Progress in brain …, 2014 - Elsevier
The basic features of the vertebrate nervous system are conserved throughout vertebrate
phylogeny to a much higher degree than previously thought. In this mini-review, we show
that not only the organization of the different motor programs underlying eye, orienting,
locomotor, and respiratory movements are similarly organized, but also that the basic
structure of the forebrain engaged in the control of movement is conserved. In the lamprey,
which diverged already 560 million years ago from the vertebrate line of evolution leading …
