Isthmus-to-midbrain transformation in the absence of midbrain-hindbrain organizer activity.
In zebrafish acerebellar (ace) embryos, because of a point mutation in fgf8, the isthmic constriction containing the midbrain-hindbrain boundary (MHB) organizer fails to form. The mutants lack cerebellar development by morphological criteria, and they appear to have an enlarged tectum, showing no obvious reduction in the tissue mass at the dorsal mesencephalic/metencephalic alar plate. To revea...
متن کاملThe midbrain--hindbrain boundary organizer.
Cell fate in the cephalic neural primordium is controlled by an organizer located at the midbrain-hindbrain boundary. Studies in chick, mouse and zebrafish converge to show that mutually repressive interactions between homeodomain transcription factors of the Otx and Gbx class position this organizer in the neural primordium. Once positioned, independent signaling pathways converge in their act...
متن کاملThe organizer at the midbrain-hindbrain boundary (MHB
Establishment of cell type diversity in the vertebrate neural plate requires an interplay between intrinsic and extrinsic molecular mechanisms, mediated by transcription factors and secreted patterning molecules (review: Lumsden and Krumlauf, 1996). In the embryonic midbrain, these mechanisms cause different cell types to arise at precise anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral positions. In addi...
متن کاملDevelopmental disorders of the midbrain and hindbrain
Malformations of the midbrain (MB) and hindbrain (HB) have become topics of considerable interest in the neurology and neuroscience literature in recent years. The combined advances of imaging and molecular biology have improved analyses of structures in these areas of the central nervous system, while advances in genetics have made it clear that malformations of these structures are often asso...
متن کاملLineage restriction maintains a stable organizer cell population at the zebrafish midbrain-hindbrain boundary.
The vertebrate hindbrain is subdivided into segments, termed neuromeres, that are units of gene expression, cell differentiation and behavior. A key property of such segments is that cells show a restricted ability to mix across segment borders -- termed lineage restriction. In order to address segmentation in the midbrain-hindbrain boundary (mhb) region, we have analyzed single cell behavior i...
