Foxg specifies sensory neurons in the anterior neural plate border of the ascidian embryo

Foxg specifies sensory neurons in the anterior neural plate border of the ascidian embryo

Vertebrate telencephalon formation requires Foxg-Fgf8 cross-regulation, but while ascidians express Foxg in the neural plate, they lack a telencephalon. Here the authors show that Foxg loss does not affect ascidian brain formation, indicating that telencephalon evolution required recruitment of Fgf...
