DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe diversity in vertebrate brain size\, shape and
  complexity underpins the vast spectrum of behaviours\, social and cogniti
 ve abilities found across species. During development\, variations in temp
 oral and spatial regulation of neurogenesis have been shown to play an imp
 ortant role in creating this diversity. Here\, we present evidence unveili
 ng another mechanism involved in imposing substantial change in brain size
  and ultimately function. We performed a comparative functional study betw
 een zebrafish and mouse\, focused on early signalling events shaping the b
 rain territories in late gastrula/early neurula. We will share our finding
 s indicating that simple temporal changes in signalling induction is able 
 to modify both size and function of the vertebrate forebrain. \n\n
