Early Brain Regionalization

This lecture covers the early regionalization of the brain, focusing on the patterning transcription factors Otx2, Gbx2, Six3, Irx3, Pax6, and others. It discusses the formation of the primary brain vesicles and the five primary brain vesicles, as well as the development of different parts of the brain such as the cerebrum, eye cup, thalamus, hypothalamus, and more. The lecture also explores further finer regionalizations and the complex anatomy of the brain, highlighting the importance of gene expression and anatomical atlases for studying and interpreting these processes.
