Windows of the brain: Towards a developmental biology of circumventricular and other neurohemal organs
2007
We review the anatomical and functional features of circumventricular organs in vertebrates and their homologous neurohemal organs in invertebrates. Focusing on cyclostomes (lamprey) and urochordates (ascidians), we discuss the evolutionary origin of these organs as a function of their cell type specification and morphogenesis.
