Pattern formation in the vertebrate nervous system.
In recent years, the classical approaches of experimental embryology have been used in combination with more modern techniques to investigate aspects of neurogenesis. This combination has advanced our knowledge of several areas of neuronal development, including the lineages of neuronal precursors, the segmentation of the nervous system, and the patterning of the neural tube.
